Well yall can always do it similarly to how I did it on the dead island wiki. Each item page is a template. You can, from any other page on the wiki, pull a specific section's info which is updated when the item's page is changed. That way you dont have to update multiple pages every time you want to make a change.

So you can make your table on your main page with dynamically generated information, and have a counter at the top keeping track of the wiki's progress collecting data (similar to your vote counter on this page and like the collectables pages on the dead island wiki).

I can throw together a mockup of it right now. it really isn't that hard. It's just making sure people use it correctly.

11:54, April 15, 2014 (UTC) Ok here is a quick example i threw together really fast:
 * Template Page
 * Example Book Page
 * Example of getting data from a book page
 * Example Table page

It all works and would be fairly simple to implement. However, I didn't spend a whole lot of time on it so the template isn't 100% complete. But it is enough for a proof of concept.
