The "Role" articles and (new) parent category are good to have, in my opinion (though they need to be modified to cover all combat units and not just BattleMechs). However, the sub-categories like this with a listing of 'Mechs in that specific role are untenable. 1) The roles depend on the individual variant so one chassis theoretically can be listed in all categories. This means each variants would need to be tagged in order to be accurate. 2) The categories have been present for over a decade and there are less than 10 members in each category. How many thousands of designs are there left to add? I feel this listing is best left to a database--the Master Unit List.

:I am inclined to agree with the motion to delete. I have not used the MUL in ages so I am not sure if it has units sortable by role but no BT product I am aware of has such a list.

Delete Role Categories

The "Role" articles and (new) parent category are good to have, in my opinion (though they need to be modified to cover all combat units and not just BattleMechs). However, the sub-categories like this with a listing of 'Mechs in that specific role are untenable. 1) The roles depend on the individual variant so one chassis theoretically can be listed in all categories. This means each variants would need to be tagged in order to be accurate. 2) The categories have been present for over a decade and there are less than 10 members in each category.
