So I was looking at the D1 list of accessories and I noticed that many of these accessories have individual pages. However, both the list-page and the individual accessory-pages contain only tables, each with half of the info. So I was thinking it would make sense to change that.

My suggestion: I think the design of the 'weapons' pages works really well and we could use that here too. We could group all the detailed info into the list-page and then a comparison/evolution of the accessories throughout the series could go on their individual pages. For the list-page, I would even suggest to use the same template as used for the weapons. The advantage of that template is that it allows the 'flavor text' and some other comments (for example: info on specialist/innocents) to be shown beneath the stats. This prevents the table from becoming too wide and needing a slider to be able to read all of it (as is the case with the D3 Lists).

Something else, but I think i'll mention it here as well. I also noticed something odd in the "template:accessories". In the "related" section, there are 2 links ('weapons' and 'accessories') that refer to their "Navigation Templates"-page, instead of to their fandom-pages. I don't know if this is intentional. If it isn't, we might want to change that. I already tried it once (without publishing the changes) and then I get a non-existing page for accessories, and an existing page for the weapons. This last page, however, redirects from 'weapons' to 'weapon' and finally to 'category:weapons'. A bit circuitous so I don't know if we can just delete those pages? I'm guessing we won't need them anymore if we have a proper weapons page. Just a question though... if any changes were to be made to this "template:accessories", would that change be implemented on all pages with that template? Or would we need to re-upload the corrected template on all those pages? (I really have no idea how this works).

So, that's about it. Interested in hearing some of your thoughts.
