I saw a comment of yours on the Event Specialist page. I've done some editing around the site in a few spots, and know how much work it is to maintain a site like this. Are you an official maintainer of the site? Can you make decisions about making significant changes to the structure of the site?

I had a thought about how the site could be structured so that it would require a lot less maintenance. Basically, to achieve this, we would reduce the redundancy of content all over the site by creating a single Cards page.

Remove card listings from: Realm Pages(Justice,  Chaos, Genesis), Skill Pages(..., ..., ...), Event Specialist ...

That's a ton of pages which would no longer have to be maintained.

So, here's what I was thinking the content on that page would look like. The card information would be in a sortable table of all the cards in the game on this page.

- RLM - Realm - Icons

- RAR - Base Rarity - values:[1★, 2 ★,  3 ★,  4 ★,  5 ★ ,  6 ★ ] - shorthand version takes up less space and is easily sorted.

- TYP - Card Type - Icons (Melee, Magic, Charm)

- Name

-  ATK - 8-15 max

- DEF - 8-15 max

- Skills

- Event Bonus - to make sorting this column the most useful, we could use this standard format for text: {event_type} :   {bonus_type} :  {bonus_value}, so:

-  Hecate =  "Chest :  Unlock Pts  :  +50%"

-  Sage Epiphron = "Guild War :  WallATK  :  x70"

Putting all the card info in one place will make it much easier to manage the conent as new cards get added to the game. It'll also make it easy for users to copy the contents into their own database or whatever they want to do with the contents (I've seen a lot of spreadsheets around the internet trying to keep this info up to date.)

Anyway ... I was wondering if you'd mind if I gave it a try to create this page. I was thinking that I'd just pull in the card listings from the 3 realms pages, and add the extra columns that I mentioned above.

The thing I'd need you to help with is this: there will be no point of creating this new page if other users still add new content to the other pages instead, so we'd want to remove the card listings from those pages and instead link to the new Cards page. Would you be able to approve a big change like this?
