Rather wrote: Why not have every armor on one page? Then we can make contents say the armor name and have the game in parentheses like this:

Rathalos Armor (MH4)

Rathalos Armor (MH3U) One of the biggest things I'd be wary about with that setup is that many more casual users may not have the awareness to distinguish between the sets from different games, especially if the armor sets look exactly the same. That's not to say that they won't know what game they're playing-- likely, they'll go to the armor list for the correct one-- but as soon as they go to a specific set's page they'll be funneled back to an area with info for all the games-- perhaps only a minor inconvenience for an experienced MH player, but a potential means of misinformation among people new to the series that don't know its history. That said, having one game's armor list link to the correct section in a one page system might alleviate this a bit, although in my eyes there's still potential for confusion.

I also feel that having a multiple page system would feel more streamlined and professional-- perhaps not the most important of reasons, but a reason nonetheless.

On the other hand, the only reason for having a one-page system I can think of is reduced size, and I honestly don't know if that is an issue or not, not being very well versed in Wikia maintainance. If it is though, I'd certainly concede that as a good reason, but as it stands the other option is more appealing to me as a user.
