This idea to begin with was to have a one-stop for information relating to each model family. There are now more variations of LX than any other Vespa model since the ET, though. That chart is a beast.
I think most of the info should remain in the primary LX article. If anything should be broken out, it should be the specs. So maybe there should be separate articles, all linking back to the LX overview, with the specs and maybe a couple other very specific items like first year of production and colors for those versions. I wouldn't break them up too specifically, though.
My suggestion:
LX/S 50 (Hi-PER 2T and 4T)
LX/LXV/S 125 & 150 (LEADER)
LX/LXV/S 125ie & 150ie (injected)
Does the injected engine have a name? Is it a QUASAR? I haven't seen it referred to with a name in any Vespa docs.
I understand that it is nice to have one place to find all of the info for a model and I agree about leaving most of the info in there. Once you take out the engine specs, the rest of the LX specs are largely the same (other than weight, speed, and economy).
If the wiki were fully written, the LEADER and Hi-PER info would be repeated in several different places since the Fly shares the Hi-PER and LEADER and the I know the ET had a LEADER (the liquid cooled 125 and 200 is also LEADER). Also, the QUASAR info would be repeated in many places since it is shared with the GTS, BV, and MP3 . I know that there aren't articles yet for the Piaggio line, but it would make it easier in the future to link to the engine pages for a model rather than have to restate everything. I know that the question of Piaggo vs Vespa comes up a lot and having a common engine page might help (although we know the question will still be asked). Mostly, I think that it will make things easier to update since there will only be one page with engine specs rather than three or four.
The 125 and 150 i.e. engines are still referred to as LEADER on the Italian site.
