i dont really agree with those two considering all the pics we already have but you could try making a seperate disscusion for those.

Yes i was alright with the idea of making the pages, but as I just read the Akimichi Clan page, it says there that they use the Bo staff. So no real reason to have another page saying the same thing. I would still make the pages if an agreement is reached, but it would probably be approx the same thing as what's written on wikipedia.
I understand what you and the others are saying but what if someone wanted to just look up one of these weapons on narutopedia. i dont think they would want to go to wikipedia or thats what they would have done originally and i also dont think they would even know to check other pages for info on them.
Lets begin a new project Project equiping ninja weaponary

I was asking for an example that actually has an article.

What's the likelihood that somebody's going to come to this wiki specifically to look up a weapon?
I know that I'm no big wig, but I feel the need to weigh in. I think that keeping the Wikipedia link is a good idea. It helps show people some of the grounding that makes Kishi's works, and that he isn't just making things up all the time. I get that it's fantasy, but some realism is to be expected. Also, what can we really say that the Wiki-hive-mind hasn't already come up with? I think that if a weapon is of particular significance, like the Bo to the Akimichi or the Kusari to Kakashi, as this thread suggests, they should appear as mentions in the Bukijutsu section of the respective character abilities section.
Alrighty then I guess the disscusion is over sense its not getting anywhere. Its not that big of a overall problem anyways.
Snapper@, an example of an weapon/tool that has an article that doesnt need one at all would be the puppet buzzsaw.

What Wikipedia article would you recommend redirecting it to?
Munchvtec wrote: none but there is no use for an article like that because according to you guys it could just be added somewhere else on the wikia that a puppet has this weapon. If you add this then why not add an article for every single fictional tool that has appeared hmmm...?
The point of redirecting to Wikipedia is because the Wikipedia article is more informative than whatever article we could create. If there's not a Wikipedia article available, redirection can't be done.
Although I agree that that particular article isn't needed. There are lots of puppet-based contraptions without articles, no reason for a buzzsaw to be an exception.
