User blog comment:Dr. Clayton Forrestor/Do YOU want to get rid of variant models?/@comment-1618941-20120804055712

I propose the following:
 * Remove the variant models charts from the talk pages.
 * If the charts are deemed to be useful they can be moved to an alternative sub page, eg. [weapon name]/Variants chart.

This can be linked from the main page infobox, and here are three options on how:
 * Always (a small problem if there's no chart)
 * Manual (switching a parameter like |chart= to |chart= Y to switch the link on)
 * Auto (an automatic link can be generated with a trigger like the presence of an image in the infobox)
