One of the more quoted stats for weapons is the total damage value; e.g. Bejeweled Shortsword is 2x7+4x11 = 58. Showing this would be one quick way to evaluate weapons, if all you're after is raw damage from weapons and staffs and not things like Step, etc.
I believe it's best to post suggestions and requests directly to the wiki thread. It's likliest to be noticed and discussed there.
I think this would be really bad actually. New players might focus too much on that number and not understand that you have to actually hit the opponent to deal that damage. There are many different factors to take into consideration, like blocks, armor and damage type. Simply adding the numbers together doesn't usually tell us anything useful. I mean why would you want to ignore things like step when they are so important when evaluating the true power of a weapon? If someone is really interested in this, isn't it pretty easy to just add the numbers together like you just did there? Less pointless number clutter in the wiki the better. That's my opinion.
