Talk:Insignia/Armor bonus system

Purpose of this page?[edit]

I am confused by the intended purpose of this page.

  1. Why was it created with a malformed name? (Requiring a {{move}} tag even before anyone else had seen it.)
  2. Why create a page that starts off requiring {{cleanup}}?
  3. Why create a page that is so full of misleading information? (Most of the listings are not insignias removed from the game, but instead they are armor prefixes, indicating an inherent bonus to the armor; the entire system was removed from the game.)
  4. Most of this information is already covered in detail (and with greater accuracy) in Game updates/20070524.

Ok, apparently this page is intended to follow the link from Insignia that refers to the old system as part of the history/trivia of the feature. Accordingly, I have suggested a more appropriate name and updated the primary article to refer to that name.
I have tried to clean-up the page so that it better reflects the comparison between the new system and the old. However, I'm not sure that we cannot simply refer to the game update page, which has the same details (albeit, presented in a less fancy format). I've also removed the category tags (those are added through the {{historical content}} and {{unimplemented content}} templates).
In the {{stub}}, I have listed the three changes necessary to destub: add an introduction/background for the old system, fix some of the icons, and separate the unimplemented bonuses from the historical. It probably would be useful to add anchor tags and a ToC for easier navigation. (Arguably, there's little point to mentioning those available in NF beta except as a Trivia note.) — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 01:54, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
