Now that we have an armor database, and templates in place to take advantage of this, it would not be too difficult to put together a defense to weight ratio using math done within the templates. However, some problems arise when putting all of the armordb for multiple pieces on a single page and along with other content.

For example, these are all the base stats within a comparable format: Light, Medium and Heavy. Errors occur when there a transclusion limit is reached – if those tables were added to the light, medium, and heavy armor set pages respectively, or if you put all the content on those three pages together, you get this (scroll to the bottom).

The question is where to put this stuff so that errors do not occur. There could be an actual "Armor Analysis" page, with subpages for light, medium, and heavy pieces, with base and upgraded stats, and with similar, although separate, pages with defense to weight ration data. The other option is to add the data to tables the old way and not use the armordb to pull the stats from. With this method, you could have these tables added to the armor set pages – it would just take longer and it would have to be edited manually to reflect any possible mistakes made when originally added to the piece pages. If using the armordb, any corrections made would be automatically reflected within the tables.
