Allow me to explain.

Our policy restrict duplicate content to avoid having inconsistency around the wiki. Updating one page is tedious enough, updating another page of the same content doubles the maintenance efforts of keeping them in sync and up to date, and doubles risk of making mistakes.

Secondly, the drop locations of every Prime items are fully accessible in all of their individual pages. Look for the build requirment table near the top of the article, which I'm sure it is beyond obvious, there you will find every drop location for every part on every platform. There is virtually no reason to create another table for the same purpose.

Thirdly, a detailed administrative blog about this change was published three days prior. The change was generally well received and sort-ability wan't a primary concern. While we can't please everyone with a single table format, we have to find one that has longevity, is artistically consistent with the wiki theme, deemed practical by most people and is at least usable by all, while simplifying the update process and minimizing duplication. None of these requirements were met by any of the previous drop table format.

Lastly, this format had allowed us to update all three platforms quickly and pack all content into a confined space neatly. Having another 3 ByType tables would destroy the compact format while requiring us to update another 3 tables. The benefit certainly does not justify the risk and the effort required.
