• Vehicles is a lore-based list of vehicles
• Vehicles (mechanic) is a page about the vehicle mechanic and UI
• Vehicles by zone is a self-explanatory list of things that use the vehicle mechanic by zone
• Siege weapon was supposed to be a page about PvP vehicles and their mechanic, but is outdated and began as a lore-based (and doodad-based) list of vehicles
• Tank (vehicle) is a lore-based list of vehicles that are tank-like

I think that some of these should be merged into one page, but I am unsure what the main name would be. Not all siege weapons are vehicles, not all vehicles are siege weapons, and not all siege weapons use the vehicle mechanic (a lot of things do). Yet, there is a clear overlap that makes unnecessary redundancy. Your thoughts?--SWM2448 01:04, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

And Siege vehicle and Siege engine.

This has been bugging me for a while too... I think for starters Tank (vehicle) and Vehicles (mechanic) should be merged into Vehicles. Siege weapon should be reworked to be an article more about the stationary weapons like cannons and then point to the Siege vehicles, which are mobile siege weapons... Basically what appears on Siege weapon should be moved to Siege vehicle. Sssssssssssssssssssssssss For Pony! (^Sssss/_Slithered) 06:01, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

"Siege vehicle" and "Siege engine" both have clear topics, but the former might need a new name. So, any more thoughts? Steam tanks were in Warcraft III and (possibly) WoW's alpha builds. Siege engines were in The Frozen Throne and are in WoW. The model used for the pilotable vehicle is alternately referred to as both, among other things, and directly resembles neither. Any thoughts?--SWM2448 20:27, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
