Forum:Standard 'template' for weapons pages

We should really come up with a standard sort of template for weapon pages. For one thing, we definitely need to cut back on the amount of pictures of a weapon. I think we should have one Weapon Infobox with a picture and the stats filled out (as a range). After that, I think no more than one additional picture. So maybe we can have picture in the infobox be a weapon with the highest stats. Then have an additional small box with only a picture of the lowest level picture we can find.

Also, the weapon infobox's stats aren't very helpful. At least the damage portion isn't, as damage changes a LOT based on level. Usually with the unique weapons, the accuracy tends to stay within a small percentage range, and the same goes for the rate of fire and magazine.

Back to the weapon template... The first thing on a page should be a brief description of the weapon's common stats, like "This sniper generally has a high accuracy and rate of fire," or thing to that effect.

Another section would be the location of where the weapon is a known drop or reward. "Location: Reaver's Edge is always and only found when dropped by Reaver. Watch out, because he will use it in the fight against you."

There should also be a section for effects. This will list the red special effect text, and a description of what it does.
 * -Special Effects-
 * Pele Demands a sacrifice! - Causes splash fire damage.
 * High Accuracy - Generally above 96%
 * Slow RoF - less than 1 *etc"

There can of course be more sections, these are just a few I've thought of right here. Does anyone else agree that we should have a standard template? And thought on the 2 picture limit? Changing infoboxes?
