Hey! This is a good discussion to have.

Firstly, I'm with Chrome that just because something exists on another wiki, doesn't mean we need it here. Fairy Tail and One Piece are huge series. With Durarara!!, you generally see the consequences of an event or action right away, eliminating the need for a "story impact" section, and backstories are provided as they become relevant and tie in immediately, not later.

Secondly, "story impact" is too broad of a topic. The entire arc has an impact on the overall story by virtue of being an arc in the series and moving the story along. Where do we draw the lines? It's possible to look at each arc as an individual story, moreso because each arc is based on a light novel, and Narita didn't write without changing his mind or being pushed by editors for something, novel-to-novel. There were things in the novels he suddenly dropped because he or his editors decided to pursue a different route. If a major addition is one introduced only in an arc and not its corresponding novel, then we, as a canon-based wiki, don't want to give misleading information by presenting it as fact.

That ties in to my last point, which is restructuring the arc pages. Because they're based on and have a corresponding novel, it might be useful to bring up differences between the anime and novels on the arc pages. You say that two of the four arc pages are close to completion, but the Dollars/Mika Harima arc and Saika arc pages are the worst off. They're poorly written, hard to comprehend play-by-plays, and what we need are summaries. Those pages should be a few paragraphs long at the max and should highlight the main points of the arc. The Yellow Scarves arc page is in the best shape at the moment, but that doesn't change the fact that those pages aren't linked anywhere and receive no views from passers-by. When the pages are restructured and contain solid information, grammar, and links, and they're short enough that people will actually read them, it could be useful to add them to the navigation bar so that they can be utilized.
