If it's clearer to have the namespace specified explicitly, then that's a benefit. If there are places it hasn't been done, then we can change that. Whether it's "worth the effort" is for the individual to decide. If it's not worth your effort, that's cool. Would it be worth my effort? Perhaps.

As for the equipment being in the template namespace, it's not as important to me, which is why I mentioned it as an aside. I just look at the Template namespace as a template for organizing content rather than a home for content itself. While I don't think it's a hard-and-fast rule to follow, I expect templates to deal with parameters in some manner, whereas the equipment lists are static blocks of full article-worthy content.

There are a few neat listing advantages from using subpages, but that generally would require installing certain extensions. I was surprised to find equipment lists when I was looking at the Special:Allpages of all templates, that's all.
