I must agree with Kogath that giving individual pages to each game's version of a given monster's armor makes the most sense in terms of ease of use, and it was something I was considering bringing up if not done otherwise. Having the MH Tri armor showing up first on an armor page that a MH3U player looked up is really more confusing than it needs to be, as was said.

I'm also partial to the idea of using a series of templates rather than just one, as it allows for the separation of information into sections, which can be individually edited and selected from the table of contents.

One last thing that may be worth considering is a means of returning from an armor page to the corresponding list, as some users may want to browse different pages and thus want the ability to go back and forth between the pages and the list. I'll leave it to others to judge if this is really necessary, though.

Concerning the controversy-- I know how it feels to have a format you're partial to and even put work into become obsolete-- as someone who has worked on the Armor pages for a while now, it wasn't so long ago that change wrote over what I did. Still, I can't deny that the newer formats are ultimately cleaner and better than what I was using, and so I was perfectly fine with the changes. Sometimes I'm afraid that such sacrifice is simply in the nature of allowing for progress. As this Wiki is for the majority, my approach to deciding would simply be to gather a variety of opinions and go with majority rule, as this topic intends.

As for my opinion, considering areas of aesthetics, ease of use, and efficiency, as well as the reasons stated above, I'd have to go with Mckrong's new template.
