Regarding the recent policy changes.

It's good to hear to we don't have to actually remove any of the data mined values or stop adding them if anything all we have to do is rearrange the content in the two templates so it's less obvious it comes from the game files the actually weapon/equipment pages can still look and act exactly the same as it does now it's just the template the data comes from will look different which may mean people who don't data mine could construct at least some of the template.
Granted that's alot of work and I hate to see Kevin's work get changed just because Nexon all of a sudden decided "data mining is bad".

I wouldn't call it sudden, it's not like they're closely watching over us.

I agree that removing that portion of the template is a travesty in its own right, as it must have been difficult to make. However, we are only delegating process, so to speak. The majority of the template will still be used, only the processing of the raw XML will be removed, and updated to intake its used arguments as a template would take in any other keys.
