Naming Convention
Should be moved to 'Missile'; in the meantime I have created a redirect from Missile to Missiles. (Unless one considers that the word Missile is always plural in English, but it's not like scissors.)

Archaic vs current missile naming convention
With Crucible in 2009 the huge range of names for missiles of different sizes and damage types was reduced massively (to Mjolnir, Nova, Scourge and Inferno), yet no one had made a change to the table of info to reflect this. I have left the table there for both historical value and so that people can link to the various articles about each type of missile, although most are stubs.
The table I've inserted for current names of missiles is minimal and hopefully conveys enough information to help people who are unfamiliar with missile damage types and looking for information. I plan to link the damage types to the damage types article and add graphics to demonstrate the colour coding, although as yet I have limited skill with images and linking charge info etc with wiki code.
Any suggestions welcome. I'd like to see missiles understood better with more information available on this wiki than on 3rd party sites, as it should be. --Kaali Ma 15:42, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
