My suggestion for the wiki was for ease of reference, as opposed to digging through all these posts of meta-discussion on how to post the information, and would avoid the flood of potentially dozens of new topics with one topic-per-model.

Don't get me wrong, the information is useful and I appreciate it. One topic-per-model in the forums just doesn't seem like the most useful presentation of the information. This is perfectly suited to the wiki where all the information is just right there, it can be linked to, people can add part links, etc. And none of the irrelevant peripheral discussion needs to clutter it up.

Alternatively, if it's meant for reference and you really want to use the forum, lock every caps topic, sticky them, and a mod can update links as needed.

Just suggestions, I'm not a mod, but as a user, I've kind of stopped reading new posts because my eyes glaze over on the flood of caps topics.
