[edit] Other?

A spear and a glaive seem somewhat out of place in a template titled "... swords." It may not be wise to begin a slippery slope of non-swords on this sword template. Bradford44 (talk) 04:36, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

I've gone ahead and removed the naginata and yari from the template. It doesn't make any more sense to include Japanese weapons that aren't swords in this "Japanese swords" template than it would to include swords that aren't Japanese. In my opinion, the naginata and yari are as out of place in this template as a rapier or claymore would be. Bradford44 (talk) 03:36, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

They are considered swords due to how they are made. Please go read the Japanese swords article. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 05:37, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Note that these are the only two exceptions I would make. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 05:39, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Shouldn't the sakabatō, be added, amongst "Fictional swords"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.225.28.143 (talk) 00:49, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
