First off if the weapons thing gets a change as long as you have a template ready and the the ability to upload images remain and I retain the ability to access/find or be provided with the info I'll make the changes if need be.

We have a number of different armor sets with the same or similar names which makes it hard to find out which game it's from until after you click the link, and sometimes not even then in some cases, which wouldn't be much of an isse if you could more easily seach by game.

The below not only rectifies this but also keeps all of the armors from a particular monster on one page. This reduces the amount of info one one page and also remove the extra effort needed to figure out from which game an armor set hails from.

"Rathalos Armor may refer to

Monster Hunter

 * Rathalos Armor (Blademaster) (MH1)
 * Rathalos Armor (Gunner) (MH1)

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite

 * Rathalos Armor (Blademaster) (MHFU)
 * Rathalos Armor (Gunner) (MHFU)
 * Rathalos S Armor (Blademaster) (MHFU)
 * Rathalos S Armor (Gunner) (MHFU)
 * Rathalos X Armor (Blademaster) (MHFU)
 * Rathalos X Armor (Gunner) (MHFU)

Monster Hunter 3

 * Rathalos Armor (Blademaster) (MH3)
 * Rathalos Armor (Gunner) (MH3)
 * Rathalos+ Armor (Blademaster) (MH3)
 * Rathalos+ Armor (Gunner) (MH3)

Monster Hunter 4

 * Rathalos Armor (Blademaster) (MH4)
 * Rathalos Armor (Gunner) (MH4)

And every Rathalos Armor page would contain this at the top:

For other versions of this Armor, see Rathalos Armor

Disambiguation pages are also done at Wikipedia

As for the carves all we need to worry about is changing the color of the template as the site's theme changes. Carves are basically just text so having all of that info on one page isnt really an issue since it does show it game by game. THe armors on the other had do take up a large amount of space. This also cuts down on the time taken when edits need to be applied because since each page is seoerate the likelyhood of somone editing the wrong set is unlikely since they all have their own pages.

And it wouldn't take years if those of us who do edit or have the free time and willingness to do something do help. This site isn't just for us, it's for the community as a whole. And I should know, doing a colum listing in guides using nothing but BBcode and HTML in a textspace that doesnt allow you to paste and making sure that all your information was right for every item in four games, sans icons/pictures, took me 3 days(more like ~20 hours total) then I'm more than sure this can be done way earlier than a year with quite a few of us working on it. And besides if we get it out of the way now then all we have to do is exchange some text when we get a US/EU release or if we get 4G.

And personally I find stuff on wiki's that I read because I'm bored from time to time that I know isnt correct and after I check for sources I'll edit it anon or otherwise leave the sources and move on. Number of contributions means nothing.

We can even put a poll up on the various forums and gameing boards for MH and see which people like the most if you're really that concerned about it being changed TGGK.
