Reorganization

The wiki has a lot of different ranged articles which essentially cover more than one topic. Crossbowman/Bowman/Marksdwarf is one article. Crossbow/Bow is one article, Quiver and misc. military equipment is one article and then there's Ammunution, Hunter and Ranger, Weapons, and Combat skill. Bows have bowman as a skill although crossbows have crossbowman or marksdwarf as a skill but they're too similar in practice to warrant two different pages. The article for the Crossbow item has a nice detailed exposition, and in the 40d version it used to encompass the quiver item, but it also essentially covers the bow item as well although there's not much mention of bow materials/weights and if they're different which might be nice if someone would pull that out of the raws

Archer, or Archery should be the main page which all references to the skill in general should link to as it has all the links to articles which deal with the skill.

Keep articles like:

  • Links to all archery-based articles. --updated Richards 13:19, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

I'd like to hear some ideas.
