I don't know much about wikis and I'm not exactly how to explain what's in my head but I'll do my best.

Would it be possible to do something like...

Adding race/class lists and/or rec/req level to armorset pages like: http://wiki.shardsofdalaya.com/index.php/Pantherskin_Armor

And on the page that lists armor sets: http://wiki.shardsofdalaya.com/index.php/Category:Armor_sets
display the armor sets in a table that show what class/race/level each armor set is available for? Also how the armor sets are accquired (quest, loot, tradeskill)
 
I'm going to look into updating both equipmentset and armorset templates soon, if only to improve their display properties to better mesh with other elements. I may add in something automatically include source information for armor sets (just source= not mob1 information and the like) from one randomly selected item from a set, but that seems kind of hacky, even for me. Generally that sort of information is added manually (since old format items don't handle multiple sources well).

Perhaps I can change Armor set pages to display in the reference format found on spells or the tabular format used in special item categories. Both formats are limited to new format items though.

I don't see the point in comparing multiple armor sets in the armor set category. Getting information about source/class/race would have to be done from a randomly selected item from the set and, well, see above. So overall, a lot of work on my part for a shoddy product that wouldn't be very useful. Probably not happening.

If you have REASONS for asking for these things, you should include them. I might be able to find an alternative if I know why you want the the tables.
 
If you update the templates to include source/class/race i will help to fill them out for armor sets. you could even just update the template and update just 1 armor set so i can see how it's done and then i would definitely work on updating as many of the others as i can.

And my reason is because I don't know the game that well and I look through armor sets and I have to click on an armor set then click an item in the set to see if i can use it.
2 clicks and 2 page loads for *each* armor set just to find out if I can use it seems lame when that information could be included all in 1 page.

I was thinking you could add these properties to the armor sets

| source = [[Loot]]
| class1 = BRD
| class2 = BST
| class3 = PAL
| class4 = SHD
| class5 = RNG
| class6 = CLR
| class7 = DRU
| class8 = SHM
| class9 = NEC
| class10 = WIZ
| class11 = MAG
| class12 = ENC
| class13 = MNK
| class14 = ROG
| class15 = WAR
| race1 = BAR
| race2 = DEF
| race3 = DWF
| race4 = ERU
| race5 = FRG
| race6 = GNM
| race7 = HEF
| race8 = HFL
| race9 = HIE
| race10 = HUM
| race11 = IKS
| race12 = OGR
| race13 = TRL
| race14 = VAH
| race15 = ELF

or the all races, all classes, all races & classes thing you made and then a page could list all the armor sets in a table with this information showing
