Fittings on the Wiki need help. They are all over the place: some ancient, some new; some good, some terrible. They do not inspire confidence, to say the least.

In the interest of changing that, this is a proposal to streamline the Wiki use of Fittings.

Goals

• Every fitting on the Wiki is filed under the SHIPNAME/Fittings subpage.
  • no loose fittings floating around in other articles
  • Every article that needs fittings should refer to them via link, not include them, unless we are going to develop some Transclusion templates, which might be a nice option
    • Layout would be SHIPNAME/Fittings/FittingName, so that each sub/sub page could be transcluded via template
• Every ship has at least one fitting
• old fittings are flagged (redboxed?)
  • Define a custom variable that is set equal to current patch.
  • The fitting template checks fitting declared version against the variable and redboxes fittings without current patch
  • Someone (fitting dept?) certifies fittings with current patch level, and bumps their declared version
  • Fitting department changes fittings that no longer work with current patch level meta
