I agree that another wiki would be unnecessary and neither do I see what's wrong with the wiki as it is now. However, considering the alternative, I would rather vote for another wiki and watch that one grow or die as a testament to how necessary/unnecessary this change would be.

Yes this site is incomplete and imperfect. However, we have editors and progress is being made. I know I am only one editor and I am still new, but I find this site quite useful. Maybe it is just me but I never got the impression that this site's purpose was to reveal every property of every character and stage made for the game. Even for what this site is attempting to do, I have yet to find another that has done that yet. The  You can't focus equal effort to both breadth and depth, unless you plan on recruiting hardcore editors.

My honest opinion is that adding those little details (normals, command normals, full descriptions, frame counts) would not hurt. However, making them a requirement would severely stifle the growth of this site. I understand that certain layouts are better for this. Looking at the layout in question, the source code isn't completely foreign to the current. So if it were indeed superior, or as RicePigeon says, better for certain characters, why not convert them later or use the layout for those characters? Perhaps that also sounds unappealing because a uniform layout for the site is desired. Sounds like a disagreement about aesthetics and not overall purpose to me. No matter what is done, there will always be critics.

My personal short term goal is to see the streetfighter, marvel, and capcom (yes MvC sections, surprise!), sections be completed to at least a satisfactory standard. I think the site is headed in the right direction. If changes are needed, it makes more sense for them to be minor and gradual over time.

One thing to recognize about this site: Google search a character name and the word mugen as such > " 'character' mugen"  and this is the usually the first page to show up. So I understand why this site would get so much attention. However, I think that what is good about this site is the fact that it has been able to expand in breadth.


 * Ran out of time so this text is incomplete. I recognize that I could be wrong about some things, and perhaps downright ignorant about certain technical aspects of the subject matters I mention such as site pragmatics particularly, layout.
