Since I'm not an admin, I'm unable to make certain edits, so I'll suggest changes here instead.


 * Navigation bar: The Wiki Content tab is empty save for a Recently Changed Pages link, and since you can find that info right in Wiki Activity, that tab is frankly a waste of space. There isn't any information that I can think of that really needs to sit up there, but anything you guys may think helpful is going to be better than duplicate wiki activity info.


 * Sword list @ nav: The Features>Sword List tab goes to an empty page, and you have to click the Sword List (image) link in the drop down in order to get anywhere useful. Honestly, I think the image page is a default sword list already, no need to make a new one. For now, I changed the Sword List page into a redirect to Characters to make it easier for others to access.


 * Category page content: Going to the Characters page and sorting table by type is nice and all but it would be cool to make the category pages more useful and attractive. In the actual body of the post, I would advise putting a blurb on the real sword and its in-game tendencies, as I have put on Uchigatana for the sake of demonstration. The content in there is merely what I felt appropriate; I am in no way an expert on Japanese swords nor a representative of the Tourabu fandom so feel free to change the content/style to whatever you feel best suits the needs of this wiki.


 * Category page organization: Still talking about categories but I felt this warranted its own bullet. Because most people recognize the characters by face and not name, it would be best, I believe, to implement additional category organizers that display the entire category by image. This can be turned on easily by admins, please see the wikia help page on categories under "Category Exhibition" if you are lost (sorry, I just have no idea how wiki experienced y'all are)


 * Romanization: I wasn't sure if this should go on individual pages but I think it goes here. I've noticed that most everything is in the standard mix of Hepburn and Nippon-shiki where おう is ou and しゃ is sha instead of sya. However, in some places, notable the word "tantou", there is some use of macrons (the line above the o, showing elongation). Since 1) most of the words here use ou instead of macron o, and 2) macron o is hard for people to type, I propose not only changing tanto to tantou but also making decisions on romanizations on other names (such as the names with "no Kami" in them like Yamato no Kami, which by some indications really should be Yamatonokami).

I apologize for the long list.
