The perks
Yes, they work as you said they do, but it's a bug. It's best for the description on the main perk list to be as they are intended to work, and for the bug to be explained on the individual perk pages. Ausir(talk) 01:59, November 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, looking in the GECK suggests they work as intended - the entry point is "Modify Damage Threshold (defender)" suggesting that the damage threshold of the target of the perk (self) gains the bonus when defending against weapons of the specified skill. -- 02:08, November 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll leave them alone then. Oh, and Kris, you're reading it wrong. It does a IsWeaponSkillType check on S (which is Self), meaning on the player. So yeah, they take effect whenever the player uses the weapon type. In fact, I highly doubt these will ever be patched to work correct, because to do that, you'd have to add in an explosives/melee/unarmed damage type (which could then be assigned to all the relevant weapons, and then you could create specific resistance types against them and give the perks those). The game has no good way to implement the perks, so without a game engine patch they will never work as intended.SushiSquid 02:28, November 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * The patch that just hit actually did fix the perks Stonewall and Hit The Deck so that they function correctly now. The engine now supports perks having dynamically adjusting bonuses based on the weapon type of your attacker. This new engine functionality was used to make these two perks function as they were originally intended.--SushiSquid 04:22, July 7, 2011 (UTC)

Verification
Please do not remove the verify tag on bugs. It takes more than one person to confirm that a bug exists. -- 01:16, July 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * I've personally checked Stonewall and Hit the Deck in the GECK and tested Hit the Deck in the game (and Stonewall is implemented identically, so it must work too). I know what I wrote on their pages is correct. How many others need to do that before you feel it's safe to remove the tag? Right now the tag makes the information look suspect, which it isn't, so simply removing the tag would help properly disseminate information better. The perks are still bugged after patch 1.4.0.525, but it's now only a display error. They do function correctly now. The talk page for Stonewall has the discussion on this.---SushiSquid
