Technically for every user-playable ship we have on the wiki, there is always a link to wikipedia towards the bottom of the page near the page comments section if anyone is keen on reading the historical information about that particular ship.

For specific ship branching rules we have this page, but it may require updating and/or be added to every user-playable ship page as part of some sort of categorisation.

I partly do agree that we may need perhaps a bit more information on each of user-playable ships, but I don't agree on the idea of "copy pasting" entire articles from wikipedia to this wiki simply because:
 * 1) It is blatant plagiarism.
 * 2) It creates unnecessary clash between real historians as well as gamers, both having different perceptions towards how things are.
 * 3) It adds extra workload to the amount of wiki editors there are to dedicate themselves to such tasks for these sorts of areas as historically not all information may be available/accurate/factual/etc. As new information has been sighted and that it is verifiable, the wiki soon becomes outdated and as a result a sore eye to those who will need to go around and update it later on.

Instead if the purpose is to make the individual wiki pages more meaningful and insightful, I believe Admiral Mikado has embarked on an interesting idea. The idea was to add related respective artist tweets about the reasons why they drew a ship girl as such. As far as I am aware of, so far two pages have already undergone such addition, those are: This is probably one good way to expand on the information about something that I believe not every other KanColle related wiki may provide. It also does not really go about plagiarising wikipedia - thus making the wikipedia links towards the bottom of every user-playable ships, etc redundant.
