I like that you've put the tables in, the pages look more professional now, and more usable. But mind if I reformat them to this style? It's a slow process, which is why I'm glad there's something already there, and the armor needs to be up first since there's very little armor up at the moment, but maybe later? -- Ladywinter 00:32, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

It doesn't really matter to me. I just like having things separated because there is less clutter, easier to sift through, seems more organized, and its easier to edit separate sections. There's still a few more pages without tables regardless. I guess you can knock those out first before with the style. Or maybe try to get a poll on which style people like :D, because there's like 3 separate table formats for weapons currently: Spear, Lightsabre, and Cross - HellMuT 00:53, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
I just looked at the three templates. First template gives the needed information, and looks professional with the pictures. Second template gives the same information, but adds the quotes that are put on some weapons, that can be gotten rid of and put onto the weapon's specific page. Third template is the weapons template I made, but its not designed to be put into a list, it simply has too much information on it and takes up too much room. So I suggest using the first template that Ladywinter made and just make the names link to the pages where we can use the larger and more comprehensive weapon template. ~ Illara 01:02, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
They all contain the needed information. It's just how the information is displayed is the importance. Its basically this: one long sortable table vs multiple small tables broken down by level bracket - HellMuT 01:11, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
I was thinking just use the list Ladywinter made, and then create a separate page for each weapon. You can add extra information about it on its own page: quotes, how to obtain, recipe's, etc. That way we have a concise sortable list, and an area to expand on each item. ~ Illara 01:19, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
I'm fine with that...sometimes the weapons have alot of info...and when you want a table you don't necessarily want/need the recipes/quotes -- Ladywinter 02:33, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
Creating a separate page for each weapon is unnecessary, but for weapons created through recipe and obtained through quests, sure, its fine to add a separate page detailing what mats are needed or what quest you need to do. But for every other weapon, you're just re-listing all the details already available in the table except adding trivial information like gold sell value and how much weight it takes up in your inventory. Quotes/item description may not be needed on the current/future table, but I just added it out of flavor and boredom. It also eliminates the need to make a new separate page for the weapon just to list the quote. Not all items even have any description anyways. It's mostly Slayer weapons, Orange items, witch weapons, and some fighter items. So it won't clutter the page all that much.
Anyways, I don't really see the need to change the current table format when its already on 19/25 weapon pages already. They all may not be completed, but its still there with most of the weapon names for easy editing. I personally like it how its formatted. I wanted it sorted like the JP wiki, but instead of sorting it by rarity, I opted sorting it by levels just to change it up a bit. But in the end, its 2 against 1 and I can't really do anything about it. I'll just keep editing whatever is there/needs fixing. - HellMuT 03:02, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
