Forum:The most important issue currently facing the wiki

Drop whatever you are doing. Not a single edit should be made to anything other than this discussion page until the issue is resolved. I am, of course, exaggerating, but only slightly.

The issue is our lack of uniformity among what should be fairly homogeneous articles. Basically, every weapon article should look VERY similar to almost every other weapon article with the same going for perks, maps, etc. We currently have policies for weapons, characters, levels, and perks, but they are nothing more than loose guidelines. We need strict policies, practically templates, to use for each type of article. To anyone who is wondering why I feel so strongly about this, it is because it will make articles neater, far easier to improve, and make the wiki far more professional and reader-friendly. Basically, my proposal entails drafting a template policy for each type of categorical article. An extensive (but probably not complete) list of examples includes guns, equipment, perks, characters, singleplayer levels, multiplayer maps, killstreak rewards, attachments, and factions. I don't know that a vote is necessarily required at this time, so I suppose I'm just looking for some agreement and helpers at the moment. Imrlybord7 23:08, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
