Hi, I have an idea. We are (or were) basically in the middle of splitting many off-brand articles to denote major design changes between brands.

For example the Ultra Tek Snipe and the Air Warriors Snipe have been split due to performance differences.

Some aren't yet done, so I think it would be helpful to have an article management template that says that the article could benefit from being split to differentiate them. For example on a page such as the Wizard, the Merlin, and the Clash Combat, which, while they are all technically different, still share the same article (it was me who did that but that was a really long time ago), and this is where putting an AM template on the article could be useful to let people know that they should make separate articles. Maybe even fields to let them know which articles it should be split into.

Could look something like this:

SplitStrike should have transparent background as well.

Above all we should just try to avoid it in the future by not making redirects to similar blasters, and just making new articles straight off the bat.

That's just my two cents but I'd understand if we don't really need it.
