Board Thread:Officer's Pub (Staff Only, idiots)/@comment-422690-20161120191612

So it's time to talk about a part of our wiki that's been ignored and, in all honesty, I didn't even care about until last week. But it's my pet project now, so...

We have pages for weapons here. We have one hell of a lot of them; about 407, to be exact. And every fucking one of them looks different. So I'm here to propose a standard for new weapons pages, as follows:

=Weapon Name=

(Appropriate infobox; either infobox/gun, infobox/melee, infobox/explosive, or whatever new infobox we make as needed)

About
A brief history of the weapon and its notable characteristics. Stuff like when it was developed, any cultural significance, etc. Should be similar to a warrior page bio; a summary, not the entire history and story.

Users
A list of the users of this weapon, like so:


 * User 1
 * User 2
 * User 3
 * Etc.

No redlinks allowed.

(And then put the relevant categories)

Pages that need an "about" rewrite should go under "Pages in need of biography rewrites" and new pages that don't meet criteria should go under "Pages in need of revamping". An additional page will be made for the Weapon Page Criteria, as well as a line in the policy directing people to make new weapons pages in line with the standard. I will be revamping current pages bit by bit in an editing project after this goes through.
