Undecided conventions
There doesn't really seem to be lots of order here :), so I want to ask some questions of conventions and things we need to decide about. Here's a start:
- Infantry (unit type) vs. "unit class" (Vehicle) vs. Ship (defensive class)
- Unit pages uses both "tread" and "Tread" for movement classes, and the ship movement class is called "Ships" for some reason. Why plural?
- I think Infantry (unit) should be moved to Infantry, since that is (by far, IMO) the main usage of the term/word (in AW contexts, of course). Perhaps Vehicle should be moved to Vehicle (unit type) (or whatever we decide to call it) anyway, for consistency.
- Speaking of page titles, we have Advance Wars (Series), but I think Advance Wars (series) would be more proper, no?
- "Medium Tank", but also "B Copter"? Also, Battle Helicopter redirects to B Copter, but not Battle Copter (as of now). Also, I think Rocket should be pluralised (or maybe I'm just remembering wrong, was a while since I last played an AW game).

The "wikitable" table class
The CSS class "wikitable", being used on wikipedia for those neat, grey tables, doesn't seem available here? I don't know if it's nonstandard mediawiki or something, but it'd be really useful. I haven't checked Bulbapedia in a while, but I think they use it too. ~ FireFly 09:21, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
