::OK, that makes sense. I agree that your design is less cluttered, and until (if we should ever decide to do so) we expand the description beyond one line of text I think we should definitely keep it. The only downside to omitting headers is that we can no longer link directly to a module group, but at the moment there isn't much need for it.

::For uncluttering the TOC, there is a MediaWiki template to limit the "depth" of headers that show up in the TOC, but after some brief fiddling I was unable to get it to work on our wiki. – [[User:Noemie_belacqua|Noemie]] [[User_talk:Noemie_belacqua|Belacqua]] 02:56, 9 December 2016 (CST)

:::Yeah, seems like this wiki is running a few versions behind.

:::I agree that if we add a lot more detail to the module descriptions headers would probably be the way to go, but there just isn't much to be said for most of them. For modules that require more information we should provide a link to a different article, like [[Afterburner Details]] or [[Smartbombs]] or [[Turrets]]. I'm wary of including stats on these pages, since that will require a lot of regular upkeep as balance patches change things. Best to have the stats in one place, like a database, and reference that info some how. --[[User:Al hubbard|Al hubbard]] ([[User talk:Al hubbard|talk]]) 15:01, 9 December 2016 (CST)
