What you are saying has been suggested. However, "since page_props has a unique
key on the page and name columns, I would have to be packing all emblems into a
JSON blob or something to make use of it - something I have mixed feelings
about."

To elaborate on mixed feelings (for using page_props)

For: Fewer moving parts == Less complexity == good
Against: Packing data into a single page_prop row would make the data nearly
un-query-able.
For: The data isn't really very query-able anyways, and packing it would
probably be more performant.
Against: Maybe the data should be more queryable, such as requiring the emblem
to be a template call or something, not just arbitrary wikitext

So - yeah, please feel free to weigh in, or just change the code, it's open
source after all - I would welcome contribution and have no firm position on
this matter.
