Hey Josephua, we were looking to make the weapon pages more related to in-game info and are staring to update them. The Etymology, History, Design etc, sections have been removed from the main weapon articles. Fear not though! Your work is still avaliable for reading with links to them at the bottom of the weapon pages. You can see all of your pages moved so far on this page:https://escapefromtarkov.gamepedia.com/Category:Weapon_features.
Meh. I prefer them to be on the same page though. I suggest dividing the sections with two headings with one under gameplay and another under spotlight.
I noticed in your goals that you said you would be editing the map articles. Just letting you know that I just added the original in-game maps for Factory, Woods, and Customs to their respective pages.
Hey there, i approved your claim! A word of explanation on long page names, I deliberately used them because I found they need to be informative as well as unambiguous. Given the pool of weapons available in the game and the number of origins and manufacturers they have, assumping someone will know that MPX is an SMG, rather than some obscure Russian rifle project, struck me as a bit user unfriendly.
Fairly sure the caliber can be dropped from the name, but I strongly support retaining at least the weapon type, so that the non gun nuts don't feel unwelcome. :)
I invite you to this discussion:

Hey Josephua! I can't believe I forgot it, but would you consider joining our super-secret contributor's Slack?

You'd make for an awesome addition!
Is it me or is it when you search "Escape from Tarkov" in the search wiki box in Gamepedia, the Escape from Tarkov Wiki does not appear?
The visual editor is broken for some reason.

For someone who doesn't play EfT, you're a damn good editor. :)
