Furthermore, how do we help them recall guns that they forgot about? We cant be omniscient and know what they want when not even they know what they want. If they dont know what weapon it is, how are they going to find it?

Your argument with there not being an arsenal page doesnt make any sense to me. The arsenal has been down for many years, and we havent had any issues.

It doesn't help you spell all the time. For example, some people have a hard time spelling the "Yuletide Annihilator."

The reason why I brought up the Arsenal is because you can't go there anymore to check your spelling. I also brought up the Arsenal because Cloptastic said he wants to go back to the main website to check what weapon he needs because he forgot what it is. But he can't because you can only find new weapons in the announcements. Plus you waste more time looking for them through every single post.

Have you ever went somewhere and then you forgot what you were going to do? Then you retrace your steps and try to jog back your memory. Now, we want to help our users reduce the chance of forgetting what information they need to look up.

The way we can help them recall weapons/items is by listing them by type on the main page. Plus, it makes our main page more attractive.

What I'm trying to get at, is that we're are linking our users to pages to information they need faster and efficiently.

Some examples from other wikis:

League of Legends Wiki

Kirby Wiki

Grand Theft Auto Wiki

Counter-Strike Wiki

Halo Wiki

Silent Hill Wiki

Resident Evil Wiki

Bleach Wiki

Slender Man Wiki

We are going to innovate the main page as soon as I figure out how to organize categories, sections, and images. Most importantly, being creative.
