Just in case anyone wonders why this is a separate ability, it's different from "teleportation" because the user can transport themselves and other objects without traveling with them. It can also go through space and time. It's not space-time manipulation because the user cannot manipulate time, only travel through it (allegedly). Also, the name was explicitly listed in Teleporter's survival account.--PJDEP - Need further explanation? 00:18, 26 January 2010 (EST)
- Yeah, that's cool. Thanks! -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 01:08, 26 January 2010 (EST)
- Cool that we don't have to do through a naming discussion, though I must say, I cringed when I read this. This seems like a cross between regular teleporting and dimensional storage. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 11:24, 26 January 2010 (EST)
- I don't particularly like the name myself, if anything, I'd prefer "enhanced teleportation", not "enhanced teleporting". But, it's in the character's survival profile so unless a higher ranking source calls it something else, we're stuck with it.--PJDEP - Need further explanation? 15:17, 26 January 2010 (EST)

Image
In the iStory, when John teleports, this image is shown. Now, should we use it as the article's main image? I mean, it's also an image of temporal rewind, so this might create some confusion. On the other hand, articles without images are horrendously ugly.--Referos 15:21, 30 January 2010 (EST)
- That's not Enhanced Teleporting though, that's temporal rewind so we can't use it at all. --mc_hammark 15:29, 30 January 2010 (EST)
- I agree that articles without images don't look good, but I don't think we should use an image of something completely different in order to make it look better. --Leckie -- Talk 15:33, 30 January 2010 (EST)
- It's not an image of something different, it's more like a "recycled" image. When you choose to teleport to the carnival, that image is shown so it's really an image of enhanced teleporting. The problem is that it's a recycled image.--Referos 15:43, 30 January 2010 (EST)
