** I don't see any reason to keep this as a separate ability. "Similar but different" warrants separate articles (just like [[Debbie]] and [[Piper]] are similar, but should be different articles). However, articles that are about a subject that is incorporated by something larger should be separate articles. [[Strain 138]] redirects to a section of [[Shanti virus]], just as it should. [[Brooklyn]] redirects to a section of [[New York, NY]], just as it should. [[Teleportation]], too, should redirect to a section of [[space-time manipulation]]. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 14:22, 31 July 2008 (EDT) |

*** If we are going to take this approach we should be redirecting [[plant growth]] to [[plant manipulation]] and we should also state that [[Teleporter]] has the ability [[space-time manipulation]] instead of teleportation since we are claiming that are the same thing. I don't mind one way or the other, but we should be consistent and uniform in our naming conventions regarding articles. --[[User:Pinkkeith|Pinkkeith]] 14:26, 31 July 2008 (EDT) |

**** Given that there is characters said to have [[teleportation]] as their ability it should have it's own article as well. To only redirect [[teleportation]] to [[space-time manipulation]] would be to say that the teleporter's ability is the same as the space-time manipulator's ability to bend space - and to say that is speculation; we don't have anything to back up such a statement. |
