	Short, sweet, and to the damned point. Every time someone adds a power to this page, they write two essays on the exact details of the power. Half of the REAL [[powers]] we have don't even have that much in their description! We don't need that much information. Can we PLEASE do something about this?--[[User:Riddler\|Riddler]] 21:15, 7 November 2007 (EST)		Short, sweet, and to the damned point.

			User:Shadowulf1 22:47, 28 December 2008 (EST) I'm wondering, why is this page still here? It's not exactly the best description of superhuman abilities, no one can agree with the abilities' names (hint hint, a little too snippy with the "kinesis" and "control" names, among other things, hint hint) and the others have already began coming up with abilities of their own. If they want a page to create a whole 'nother archive about superhuman powers, this is obviously not the place to do it. Either they should have their own pages, they should make pages of their own, they should make a page like this on [http://theories.activatingevolution.org/swiki/wiki/index.php/ here] or a combination of the above given solutions. As for this page, I'm sure we've already come to the consensus that it should be gone, so (not to sound rude or impatient, but...) why is this page still here?

			But before it ''is'' gone, I'm wondering if there is a way to prevent ''other'' pages from being edited like you protected this page?

	*********** My original idea was actually more along the lines of what Riddler's saying. Each user would have one powers article with all their powers on it. Either way seems ok to me. Separating into multiple articles means a lot more tiny articles, which isn't a big deal but seems a little wasteful. The advantage, as you said, is that the power names would automatically appear on the category. Part of me thinks that's nice, and part of me feels like it could cause some disagreement if I list something in the category and someone else feels it's a poor name for it. I had originally just expected interested parties to create that single powers page and that page is what would be listed in the category, but whatever approach people like is good.
