Would the community be interested in creating an algorithim faq for IV DS / TAY?

I'm not sure if this goes here or not (I didn't think it would go in Final Fantasy IV R and D since that seems more about posting discoveries than begging for information on those discoveries.) but here goes. I already PMed Deathlike about this, but I also wanted to open this topic up to the whole community.

I love Final Fantasy IV to death. I consider it the best game of all time and I have played it more than any other game I own. Than, after a while, I stumbled upon Deathlike's Algo faq over at Gamefaqs. Needless to say, I was stunned by all the information he gathered and wanted to smack myself for playing the way I did.

"Great to know I wasted money buying two of the same elemental claws for Yang".

"Maybe assuming the Staff was the better option for Rydia because of 1 point of higher battle power was not such a great assumption".

"Oh man! Race weaknesses are overpowered to the max when you hit them"!

"What is this!? I could've avoided the effects of Bad Breath by just equipping a freaking storebought helmet on everyone!? I've been doing it wrong all these years!"

Seriously, his faq was a real eye-opener. Sadly, one has not been made for TAY nor the DS remake. Also sadly, at least for TAY, there is quite a bit of erroneous information in the Gamefaqs Item faq and also the weapons / armor entries in the FF wiki when it comes to equipment. It really is saddening.

That is where this community could come in. I've had a glance over the few topics you guys have made for research into TAY and DS and it seems like you guys have already done a lot of testing to confirm the mechanics in these games. If an algorithim faq could be put together, that would be amazing. These games really need one if the current faqs I looked over are any indication.

EDIT: If it helps any for TAY, there is a webpage a guy who made an incomplete Pastebin of TAY info referred me to, but it is in Japanese.
