Hello Devl. How have you been?

First of all, thank you for investing your time in working on this. Unfortunately, and as you are surely aware by the feedback you have received so far, using infoboxes may not be the optimal way of solving this issue. I believe it would be much better having a single tabbed table in the Upgrades section of each weapon's article, like it was done for DS and DSII, and like most other wikis around. As you may have noticed by now, adding three tabbed infoboxes on each weapon page will end up complicating things unnecessarily.

A common wiki page usually consists of a single infobox where the most significant information can be summarized, making the article more user-friendly and even saving the viewer the need of having to scroll through a page trying to find the details they are looking for.

Additionally, I would find working with three tabbed infoboxes to be very unpractical. That would mean that the editor has to know the code and how it works. Since in Dark Souls III we have 16 different upgrade paths (or something like that, I haven't counted them), then that would mean adding 16 infobox codes on each page.

I have never worked with tables this complex but I guess it would be possible to fit everything into a single 16 tabbed table. Yes, the code will end up being gigantic, but an editor would only have to copy the base code once and add it to all weapon pages systematically; from there on, it would just be a matter of filling all data with one of the visual editors, which can't be done in a normal infobox as one is forced to use the source editor (as far as I know).

Speaking of which, if adding tabbed tables eventually becomes a reality and is implemented, it is very important of making sure they can be filled in either the New visual editor (the standard one) and/or the Classic rich-text editor. I remember once adding data to an upgrades table for Dark Souls II with the Source editor and it was a real nightmare.

Don't be discouraged and keep up the good work.

Have a nice day. Regards.
