Forum:Wiki Item Rarity Overhaul

Hi There!

I find that the wiki's current weapon classification based on rarity is... "sketchy", and degraded to "Clusterfuck", at best. I would like to propose a new classification. While not entirely based on actual rarity or colors, it should be much better suited to actually classifying (the goal of categories) entire classes of weapons, spreading over several colors.

My proposal is that all weapons be categorized into 1 (and only 1) of the following categories:

The advantage of this is that for staters, it will put an end to the un-standard classification of uniques: Why should Bone Shredder get Blue, Lady Finger get Green, and Ajax's Spear Purple?

Using this scheme, any weapon which is not Unique/Legendary/Pearlescent (for example Pounder, Rage or whatever), is simply qualified as Common. The rest is pretty straight forward.

I'd also put the Penetrator and Draco, in the Legendary category.

I've already started by writing an article about Unique items, and I also plan to write one about Legendary (that or move the awfully named Rare Items (Above Purple!)).

For cleaning up, I request:
 * The creation of:
 * Category:Unique
 * The deprecation of:
 * Category:White
 * Category:Green
 * Category:Blue
 * Category:Purple
 * The renaming of:
 * Category:Orange to Category:Legendary
 * The keeping of:
 * Category:Common

This good for everyone? Do I get the green light? ✅ or the red light? ❌
