Forum:Lore and gameplay article split

I guess this is why we have a forum! (Keeping track of the discussion going on concurrently on three different talk pages makes me woozy. 0.o)

It seems there are two issues:
 * 1) How many gameplay articles are needed for each unit (a matter of content quantity)
 * 2) What should go in the gameplay articles (obvious official stuff vs. fan developed)

On (1), each unit that appears in multiplayer should get at least one gameplay article (eg. "SomeUnit (gameplay)", or if its only in SC1 then just go straight for "SomeUnit (StarCraft)"), and possibly one per game if there really is that much. In the case of the single article linking should still be through "SomeUnit (StarCraft)" and "SomeUnit (StarCraft II)", with those pages being redirects to the specific section in "SomeUnit (gameplay)".

On (2), obvious/official and fan generated should go into the gameplay articles. With the links at the top of the lore articles, it's easier to put everything in one place rather than have the user browse down the lore article to the "appearances" section to get some stuff and then go to the gameplay article.
