Forum:Weapon Pages

So, we are having a problem here. Large amounts of material that is not directly within the scope of the red dead wiki is being added to the weapon pages. As per tiktaalik's words.

"Useless to gameplay, I agree - but it helps relate the fictional gameplay to real-life events. That transparency between fiction and non-fiction, reality and satire, is a huge theme of Rockstar's products. It would seem consistent to support that theme. I think we're needlessly restricting our scope and relegating this wiki to being on the same playing field as an FAQ, when we could easily exploit increased versatility and access to information."

I completely agree that I want this to be more than just an FAQ, and this rule is only temporary. But we *need* consensus on this subject. What is good/right to place on a page, doesn't deviate from our scope like all hellfire, and can actually help to make this a better wiki. I'm sure some of you have thoughts about this. Although, as long as concensus is not reached, this rule will remain in effect, since we must manage all pages according to certain guidelines. If one admin thinks it should happen, while another thinks it's just "not okay" certain pages could have parts with history and other pages don't? That would be wrong. Please share your ideas.
