Forum:Weapon Article Organization

There are a lot of titles and prefixes, for every weapon subcategory. Even if we just allow all of those we're looking at many thousand permutations and combinations. If we include model and material it's clearly hopeless. as i said here Talk:Weapons#Weapons and how they are listed Title tends to describe the basics of a gun. For clarity Title is the very last word in the name of a weapon. A "Dahl RV10 Bloody Justice" has the weapon title Justice.

Look at this list from the old combat rifles category page:

1. HLK20 Blast Machine Gun 2. HLK20 Incendiary Machine Gun 3. HVY20 Blast Machine Gun 4. HVY20 Incendiary Machine Gun 5. HVY20 Rowdy Machine Gun 6. HVY20 Shattering Machine Gun 7. HVY24 Blast Machine Gun 8. HVY24 Frantic Machine Gun 9. HVY24 Incendiary Machine Gun 10. HVY24 Support Machine Gun 11. HVY29 Suport Machine Gun 12. HVY340 Frantic Machine Gun

Even if we need a Blast Machine Gun page, we certainly don't need a HVY Blast Machine Gun and a HLK Blast Machine Gun. And obviously we're still missing TCH Blast Machine Gun and AR Blast Machine Gun and so on and so on, into infinity. And, just assuming it's a Torgue, we've got Iron (Blast) Machine Gun and Steel (Blast) Machine Gun variants of all of the above. That way madness lies. And look at that guy posting pretty much exactly the same gun only spelled wrong!

I redirected all these to Machine Gun and put the data in a table. There were three XYZ Havoc guns, which i redirected to Havoc. Now they are not on the category page and Havoc is. I did them all, and now the Combat Rifles category is human-readable. Combat Rifle has nice links to every possible burst fire and full auto Combat Rifle. Maybe just Title is too extreme, I don't know. I know there's way too many images and the use of multiple Infobox_weapon is sloppy. They need to be deleted or put in a gallery, but it's a start.

Zaybertamer and some others agree with some of this, but think the tables should be banished to Talk pages. Thoughts, opinions?
