Posting here per Ryousha's message on my wall. I don't see how it's relevant to the character in question to include toy only forms (Be that Random Combos with the Purple Cores from OOO, or Lockseeds/Ranger Keys that were never used in any media, etc.) because the pages aren't about the forms the Riders COULD use, it's about what they DID use, otherwise Eiji's page would have every single combo made with the purple Cores (The regular unused Random Combos are a special case because the suits WERE shown in a magazine scan) and all the other Gaim Riders would have all of their possible forms shown on their pages, especially since there's evidence in canon that those can exist and also evidence in canon that the New Gen Riders toy forms can't (previous example about Yoko not become a female Duke Peach Energy Arms). Having the pages as they are now, with the New Gen Riders having their toy forms and the Armored Riders not doesn't make sense. My personal preference is to revamp the toy-exclusive page to have the Gaim and Drive sections work like Eiji's page, showing the base suits/Types in one tab level and the Arms/Tires in another one to avoid the clutter and leave those forms off the character pages, but if they must be on the character pages, then there's no reason to not have them all on the Armored Rider pages because those are canonically possible. I'd still vote to have them taken off the New Gen Riders page because they don't have any confirmation that they're canonically possible, and even slight confirmation that they aren't (slight because there's always the chance Yoko tweaked the Driver to give her the right suit offscreen because the issue of Malika's suit in the last eps was completely ignored).

...I did not expect this to be a small essay. Sorry for anyone that had to read all that.
