Category talk:Main weapons

Some things we have to decide:

1. Do different "loadouts" (i.e. Splat Roller vs. Krak-On Splat Roller) with the same weapon count as different weapon pages? (I think they should)

2. What order is this list in? Alphabetical? Unlock order? The unlock order makes sense to me.

3. The blaster doesn't really fit these categories. What to do?

 * The choice between different pages vs consolidating loadouts to one page is pretty arbitrary. But I think we should keep in mind that more weapons + combinations will most likely be released as DLC in the future. So if we do decide on separate pages it's going to be a bit harder on the upkeep. That said, I think that separate pages would make it easier for users to find the specific weapon they're looking for. I'm open to separate pages, but I think that we should flesh out the 'main weapons' page into an actual article as opposed to just a category listing.


 * The list seems to be organized by weapon subtype and within the subtypes it's organized by unlock order (not 100% sure though). Unlock order is fine, but you also have to consider that some weapon loadouts are unlocked via single-player campaign which can be completed at any time. I think that this could be clarified in a Main Weapons article where weapons unlocked via level-up are separated from those unlocked via single-player campaign.


 * Unless the game explicitly mentions the subtypes they are essentially community-created. I think we should group the weapons together if we think such a grouping will benefit the readers. Otherwise for ease of use I would just go with alphabetical. --sunmarsh  ( talk )  03:58, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
