Wikia articles aren't meant to be "simple and straight-to-the-point" it sounds odd, but it's true. Articles are meant to eloborate and provide as much information as possible. If look on any major wikia, you'll understand what I mean. It can provide simplicity where possible, though, and that is why we have tables. While it's true that most people who visit this wiki won't read the whole usage section, I was always told to look at an article from a complete begineers point of view.

While you and I can glance at the table, assess information based on what we know and make a speedy decision, it can be much harder for someone who has no idea what they're doing. Because of this, it is generally much easier to read a section with necessary information than having to read it and apply it to stats that generally won't mean much on their own.

Tables are for quick reference, though their contents should never be exluded from the actual sections themselves. Because our articles rarely have enough sections to even get a contents display, there's really no where else for this information to go. If a new member wants to learn (which is what wikia is intended for) then they'll read the information presented.

Though I certainly agree with you about the paragraphs. I'll personally go through and split them up into more manageable chunks, but feel free just to break them down when you're doing routine editing (though make sure that each paragraph has some substance and focuses and a particular point, we don't want them all over the place).

I will take everything you've said into consideration when making writing up the next usage section. Watch out for it, though I can't exactly promise I'll change my routine as of yet.

If I've missed anything, or you want to raise more points, PLEASE do. This is really good progress, because we only move forward my deliberating with each other. If anyone else reading this has anything to add, feel free. Oh, and I'm sure you noticed I took your advice about paragraphs and applied it to my own writing. I hope it's more manageable then my "Wall-Of-Text" :P
