I've started to merge/elliminate certain pages into each other, namely

Costumes (Groups) and a few related ones to reduce editor workload and help users get to places efficiently.

A few other pages bother me:

I feel that we could significantly reduce the Recipe Page. Instead of listing recipes, do something like this:

Most [[Armor]], [[Helmet]], [[Shield]], [[Bomb]], [[Handgun]], [[Sword]], and several [[Trinket]] items have recipes with a few exceptions, listed [[:Category:No Recipe|here]]. Most other Arsenal items do not have recipes. Below is a list of items that have unusual recipes, and/or are unusual in that they have a recipe:

:[[Grand Solstice Ring]] - this trinket requires two preceding 4* items.
:[[Fiendish ID Card]] - a material. Materials usually do not have recipes.

etc.

Check out the talk page of recipe, too. Old and new opinions seem to be in sync.

I feel that we could probably entirely remove the List of alchemy paths. This page has been brought to my attention due to the recent Alchemy Path revamp (which was due to the obese Padded trees) as well as "set" (items thatare in official sets) variables involved in the Amazing(ly Boring) Infobox Project.

Thoughts? I'll be removing "no recipe" category tags from costume pages. I feel like this tag on costume pages is very unnecessary. It reduces the functionality of the "no recipe" category, and probably is just something leftover from early SK times when costumes weren't even in their own arsenal tab.

sounds good

You're cleaning up redundant and not-very-useful pages, which are hard to maintain and of little value. Sounds good.

seems redundant

It seems redundant with Category:Promotions, doesn't it?

(I haven't checked that all of the information on that page is in that category. I'm saying that they should be redundant.)

In general, pages that are pretty much lists of links are highly suspect. Usually they can be well replaced by a category containing the linked pages. That's my opinion anyway.
