So... this is gonna be a bit daunting and probably insane coming from me due to being a relative newcomer, but I have some ideas I would like to pose regarding the arrangement and status of the Real World Entries (I'm probably gonna spend most of my time either in Content Revision regarding the Real World or in Fun And Games if not in Discord, so welp).
1: I propose a revision/alternative to the current arrangement of entries in the Real World page: instead of listing individual entries under categories (since there's probably too many individual examples of stuff we could list down such as with firearms and animals), we could list smaller subcategories (replacing the individual entries) under larger groups (sections (a.), subsections (a.b.) and categories (a.b.c.) as numbered/structured in the contents list from biggest to smallest left to right) and then write about individual record-holding/notable members of said subcategories in the powers and stats of the subcategories' pages (which would replace the individual entry pages).
To explain how this works taking the Weapons section as an example:
Weapons section name stays the same.
Subsection names like Melee Weapons stay the same.
Categories like Clubs and Swords can be changed to Blunt and Sharp weapons, Others can be Improvised Weapons.
Individual weapons can be lumped into their own smaller subcategories so that the subcategories BECOME the individual entry pages (like Blunt One-Handed Weapons and Blunt Two-Handed Weapons) while then adding the powers/stats of record-holding/notable individual weapons into the pages of those smaller pages.
Guns And Cannons and Other Ranged Weapons subsections can be merged into just Ranged Weapons subsection while the individual pages can be lumped into categories like Vehicular Weapons, Firearms, Non-Firearm Projectile Weapons, Throwing Weapons, etc with subcategories being like Aerial Vehicular Weapons, Terrestrial Vehicular Weapons, Naval Vehicular Weapons, Missile/Rocket Launchers, Grenade Launchers, Anti-Material/Sniper Rifles, DMRs/Battle/Assault Rifles, Other Rifles, Shotguns, Revolvers, PDWs/SMGs/PCCs, Semi-Auto Pistols, Hand Grenades, etc...
You probably understand the idea already but just to also provide another way this works for other sections:
According to taxonomy:
Domains/dominions/superkingdoms/realms/empires (all same meaning in taxonomy) can replace the organism types in subsections (eg Animals, Plants, Fungi, Bacteria, Protists, etc can be replaced by Eukarya and Prokarya) and additionally become categories under the time period era subsections in the Extinct Organisms section.
Kingdoms can replace or become the current categories (categories going under the time period/era subsections for the Extinct Organisms section similarly to domains depending on whichever is easier, and replacing the different animal type categories under the Animals subsection in the Extant Organisms section).
Phyla/Classes/Orders/Familiae (most general to most specific left to right) can be the subcategories where record-holding/notable genera and species can be written down in powers and stats for said phyla/classes/orders/familiae.
With that in mind, I will note that this will take a long time (not unlike the reformation of the Tier System following Ultima's proposal) as we are going to need to add more sections, subsections and categories to classify the different entries as collective subcategories/groups (with references to Wikipedia or other possibly more detailed, legitimate and reputable sources as noted by H3).
2: I propose to also keep this thread open as a way for members who contribute to the Real World Thread to throw in ideas for additions to the page entries for discussion (or rather, if the first idea was to go through, with new additions and updates to the powers and stats of record-holding/notable individuals within their respective subcategories with regard to adding new data of specific entities, and also new subcategories, categories, subsections or sections with regard to reclassifying groups of entities or adding new groups of entities, for discussion). (Unless a new thread already exists for that purpose.)
3: I'm not sure if it's necessary or useful, but just wondering whether armour (like bulletproof vests, bombsuits, spacesuits, etc) should be included, but even if that's not the case, I feel shields should be added since they've been both used as defensive blocking weapons and offensive parrying and ramming weapons (even if not the primary purpose regarding the latter) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riot_shield in modern times, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nguni_shield and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scutum in more historical times), and then there's dueling shields that have been around quite a while as well from Talhoffer and other manuals:
