One of my yet-to-start projects was an extra page for each alignment, which could hold more specific information related only to itself. See Lawful Good on the Iewind Dale wiki for what I roughly had in mind.

When every alignment has its page, the article itself should indeed contain only a general overview and then – as you plan – focus on its effects in-game. But as long as the current information (as for me, without those 3.5 examples – the 2e Player's Handbook has its own) isn't stored elsewhere on the wiki, it shouldn't be simply removed. As a start, you could go and cut that unaltered, complete content from the overview and paste it into the current redirect pages, enabling them again. I use them as links very often, so why not making them accessible? Then you could go and rework the article. If you absolutely don't like the current alignment descriptions, and don't want to keep those, think about replacing them with the in-game text for a beginning. I don't agree, however, with them being placed at the bottom of the article if you don't want to move them.


 * Some thoughts:
 * Don't make the lead so large – give the second paragraph a header related to class restrictions or character generation, group that one with the cleric section (as sub-header).
 * Equipment better matches further down, before alignment changes.
 * I don't know what you're meaning with the Gorion's Ward header?

Some general layout and styling things: please don't use links in headers and also capitalize only the first letter, except for proper names and titles (Gorion's Ward is used on the wiki as such). I see further, minor things, such as the uppercase "Alignment" in the first paragraph (self-link?), the missing italics for Baldur's Gate and Dungeons & Dragons, but those are only copy-pasted from the original article.

So much for my opinion. CalOkand, Laclongquan and Scythesong are currently frequent visitors, so they and perhaps more might have an interest in this topic, too.
