Mounts table changes?

I'd like to propose that the table of mounts is slightly redone - I have an example at User:Sophira/Mounts which shows how I think it would work best. Basically - move the "Flying" column next to the "Two-seater" column, and use the {{yes}} and {{no}} templates instead of "Yes" and "No", with tooltips that make it clearer what the answers are in reference to. Also, replace the "??" answers with "Unknown".

How do people feel about this? Should I just go ahead with it? I'm a new editor to the wiki so I don't know if there's a reason for it being done this way. --Sophira (talk) 02:38, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

A lot of pages haven't really been worked on in a while. I think your updates are much-needed and useful. Some pages do have a standardized layout in the works (such as for zones, enemies, and NPCs) but for pages like this there's nothing decided yet. I've gone ahead and added your changes for you (and added some of the "unknown" info), but feel free to continue to edit/improve it. :) RequiemTempest (talk) 03:24, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

I like that table, but I'd like to suggest that the table include the BGM played for the mount. The biggest thing I care about for my mounts is what music it plays. Also, at this point, all mounts are flying, so the flying column is superfluous. --Surskitty (talk) 20:10, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

I think it'd also be really useful if we'd be able to add a column for Mount actions yes/no, as there's no info online about it beside checking mounts individually from video to video. Example, Cruise Chaser not having a Mount Action, but the Calvary Drake having one. Arbiter77 (talk) 22:03, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Adjusting Acquisition Types

The Acquisition Types in this table should be adjusted. Many of the mounts that are acquired by "completing X achievement" are not listed as Achievements acquisition mounts.

Whether it's adjusted by removing the current types assigned to mounts that are acquired by completing achievements in things such as Field Operations or The Hunt, or by adding subtypes for the achievements, I feel it will make it more searchable and easier to read for many people.

Thoughts?
