This page looks good; the automation will make things a lot easier. A few thoughts:
- Right now, the ability name origination article lists the sources a bit differently (e.g. "Near-canon description" instead of "Near-canon"). I don't care either way, though I kind of prefer just "near-canon" since the column is called "Type of source".
- The "near canon description" was used to distinguish an explicit near canon naming of the power (i.e. a graphic novel that explicitly names the power) versus something that was put together based on descriptions in the near-canon source (i.e. "...can mimic the density of water" becoming "water mimicry"). I don't know if the distinction is absolutely necessary, but Hardvice and I discussed it briefly here. (Admin 20:25, 4 January 2008 (EST))
- Since the third column has some references and some explanations, I think it'd be best to name the column "References and explanations".
- Would there be too much whitespace on everybody's browsers if we "br clear=all"ed the table? I get some whitespace on mine, but I think I prefer the space to be above the table and not to the right of the table.
