Wiki: IRP and OORP descriptions do not mix - sindroms - 04-03-2014
Sup.
So while we aren't at the last update yet, updating the wiki has taken a back seat, at least when it comes to pages which are generated from ingame files. Pages for guns, ships and so on.
But something I've noticed is that some of the pages describing equipment use an IRP description, while others use OORP ones. A good example is the page here:
http://discoverygc.com/wiki/Ship_Portal
I believe that the descriptions, especially ones like "Carriers are Battleships which exchange some guns for giant hangars and launch tubes capable of unleashing a swarm of fighters and bombers upon their enemies." or "Battlecruisers stand between Cruisers and Battleships when it comes to firepower. They are usually deployed on force reconnaissance missions" seem to give a completely unrealistic expectation from the player, especially when other pages regarding ship equipment in particular are purely oorp in their descriptions.
Just seems out of place.

Agreed. Perhaps once the beta is over wiki could do with overhaul of how things are sorted.

Can do, but that's not always up to the wiki but by those who own the ships
