to be posted in pages like that.

Is it ok? It would be a big help to find be able to find the stats easily since they are scattered between AP books, campaign setting books and sometimes player companion books.


The Pathfinder Wiki is really meant for "fluff", and admin Yoda8myhead and others have said that game rules really shouldn't go on the wiki.
PathfinderWiki's No Crunch Policy
For instance, there might be three or four methods to build an Aldori duelist mechanically, even though by fluff, they'd cover the same territory.

Also, city stats can change from book to book, especially the item section; there's not guarantee that the major magic items on sale in Spring 4708 would likely not be the same five or six years later in-world.

Turns out this has already come up for discussion on the Wiki itself: PathfinderWiki's forum article on City Stats
"I think that the existing infobox is adequate and adding anything else would be too crunchy. The population, ruler, etc. of a city are in world facts, while a city's abstracted corruption score requires a crunch translation to really understand."

Therefore, for city stats, the only "stats" would be the size of the city and its demographics, which have no real game impact or variability. Sorry. :(
That said, you could totally put together a site or document under the Community Use Policy to compile city statblocks. :3


I figured that if domains and subdomains for deities aren't too cruchy then city stats aren't either.
And if the city stats are generated properly (which aren't always) then they shouldn't change from book to book unless of course (for some reason) there is a change in the setting.


That may be, but this isn't the place to have that conversation. You'll get more of the stakeholders weighing in if you reopen the discussion at the forum sire that Daviot linked above.
