A template that produces a list of ships is, for implementation reasons, incredibly expensive. First of all, no lua module has a list of all ships. When a Lua module needs to access a ship, that's because wikitext somewhere has given it the name of that ship. A Lua module does not know how to find a ship by itself. That's why these categories have to be on the ships' pages.

If you look at Kancolle_Wiki:Lua, you can see an example of what I mean by category tree; an ajax loaded list of the category for each stock equipment. That's what I was planning to put on every equipment page.
