A spear and a glaive seem somewhat out of place in a template titled "... swords." It may not be wise to begin a slippery slope of non-swords on this sword template.

I've gone ahead and removed the
naginata and
yari from the template. It doesn't make any more sense to include Japanese weapons that aren't swords in this "Japanese swords" template than it would to include swords that aren't Japanese. In my opinion, the naginata and yari are as out of place in this template as a
rapier or
claymore would be.

To be quite honest, because I'm not sure what the right order would be. Doing it alphabetically would be easy, but strikes me as a bit simplistic. I'd prefer something based on chronological development or some other meaningful subcategorization, but nothing obvious comes to mind.

I see. Chronological order sounds good, but it might be difficult to know when some of the older weapons were developed. Any time of order would be preferable to the present random arrangement in my opinion. Besides alphabetical order one could think of ordering by length (nagasa). Not sure what to do with shinken in this case, though...
