I just added one item that was missing the special weapons/equipments. Apart from that I see that we have 99% agreement on the yes and no, and this is very good! I agree to all the other comments you added to the table as well. So at least two people in here seems to agree on the majority of the elements, I'm interested to see what the other sysop/burocrats think about this. The only open point are the Army List, and I really do not understand this resistance on those. If we want to organize the miniatures, the best way will be to do it using the Armly List index. What's bad about this? How do you plan to organize the miniatures if they are not linked to Army Lists? Where "Army list" = index of all troops/units present in a certain army. --Talad 12:17, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

If I take Space Marines as an example the way to organize them is by official designation: e.g. Terminators, Tactical Marines, Assault Marines, Scouts etc. So you can still list them, just the order is different (anyway using the army lists could lead to trouble because not every unit type was always considered as the same FOC). --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum 15:35, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
I added few items on the table, please review the ones with "?" on your table, and give guidance on those. About the Army List I would like to have an example, so we can settle on something that's acceptable for both sides. I'm ok with a different order of the units if that makes you guys feel better, but I want to be sure there is an easy way to navigate the material, and that my additions will not be deleted. --Talad 16:08, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
Additions do not get deleted, they might get moved. What gets deleted is shit and unsourced material. I have something in mind like maybe: Headquarters/ Officers, Specialist personel, Elite troops/ veterans, Normal troops, Vehicles or something along the lines. This obviously would have to be modified for the different races. --Inquisitor S., Großmeister des Ordo Lexicanum 16:55, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
I still find extremely weak the argument that "Fast Attack" should not be used, but anyway if that's the only problem I think I will be ok with whatever names you will have for the different sections. Maybe "Veterans" instead of Elite, and similar. With the objective to finalize the table and move on, can you point to an army list that suits the background needs? Or maybe make a list of reserved words that are not to be used (like Fast Attack). I just don't want to restart the same discussion in few weeks from now when I will potentially work on more material. We agree on a template, and that's done. --Talad 18:32, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
