Wiki intended to say that out of all nen users who would pour a lot of aura in some objects, the majority would be manipulators, because of how their category works, but they didn't phrase it very well IMO. Let me try to clear any confusion:I would agree on most parts, with the exception of this " What you are suggesting here would be like saying you manipulated nen to make an object stronger... which is not manipulation but rather enhancement. ".
In the wiki, if they're correct, states "Manipulators are also the Nen users who can pour the most aura into an object" and is supported by this whole issue.

However, on different issues, "http://mangafox.me/manga/hunter_x_hunter/v15/c145/1.html" It clearly is an enhancer's trait.
This is mainly just for me(confused), and will try to clarify it for the sake of readers who might find it useful.
So based on these, I guess it's safe to say... I'm still confused, little help here?
We know that almost all manipulators rely on some object for their hatsu. There are cases where the objects are controlled directly (like Guido's tops) or used as a medium to control something else (illumi's needles). Now in both cases, the nen user has to put some percentage of his aura into the object to achieve some degree of control on it, and the more aura there is the more effective it will be. However this doesn't mean at all that manipulators have more aura than other nen users.
Now here is where it'll get interesting: the object shrouded with aura will also be reinforced !. Here is an example to illustrate the actual difference :
Nen user A is an enhancer, nen user B is a manipulator. Both of them want to fight by controlling a real chain. A shrouds the chain with some amount of his aura, the chain becomes very tough and powerful, but his control over the chain is sloppy. B pours the same amount of aura into the chain, it becomes less powerful than A's, but he can controll it with ease and very well.
No we are not in agreement. It should be an advanced aspect of Emission which is used for those abilities. As Demonspeed and Shionoro said, Transmutation is not just for shaping aura, but to give it the property of something else (substance, item, animal etc...). Also if we take my "dragon" analogy, Transmutation hatsu tends to be transparent like Zeno's dragon, while beasts created through Emission would look like Shenron, i.e. lifelike and with colors.So, are we all in agreement that it takes Transmutation to Shape the Gorillas, 13 demons, and HK? and that to actually "Separate" the shaped nens is under emission? Because if you look at it, they are just basic nen manipulation/techniques, meaning they are not enhanced by conditions, just the mastery of different categories.
