Thanks very much for helping with the editing standards. You're right about "So who is to decide if there should be a weapon page or not?". The only way to decide is debate and argue for your most liked example and then decide which one most people think is best. I'm always happy to go through one by one and edit my mistakes for the better.

Weapons (anything lower than this point should be in a weapons page not a sub category. If you have a crucial detail for that weapon and there is no page, don't think you have to make an entirely new page. Add your words to the file's own page for example look at the staff. )

So who is to decide if there should be a weapon page or not? I don't agree with the last sentence because of two reasons:

The reason why its better to have a page for every weapon is because its simply easier to manage them on their own page then to track every single occurence on collection pages like Equipment_and_Weapons or Dogs#Weaponry (which I have combined previously because they contained duplicates of the same information)
