SO I was getting set to take Peter and Sylar off all the powers, and it just occurred to me that's gonna leave "cryokinesis" as "unknown" again, which seems wrong since there is a known user. Any ideas on how to make it clearer within the portal that we're listing only the original character? --Hardvice (talk) 14:57, 20 February 2007

  • How about just a big disclaimer at the top that says "Only original holders of powers are listed. Those that have duplicated powers are not listed here." — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:31, 20 February 2007 (EST)

Engineer

  • Any reason not to include the Engineer as an example of induced radioactivity even though he never actually aired? We do have articles on him plus the unaired episode is supposed to be included on the season one dvd set when it comes out. (Admin 12:47, 5 March 2007 (EST))
    • Mostly to clean up the page. Every other power only lists one person per power. Plus, since he's a cut character, it's kind of an iffy judgment call. If you want to put him back, that's fine. I was just trying to streamline the page and follow suit with how he is now listed on induced radioactivity (in the notes). — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 13:22, 5 March 2007 (EST)

Superfluous space

Right now, only "Space-time manipulation" and "Electronic data transception" are taking up more than one line for the power name. It would look a lot more succinct, I think, if we shortened these two names and took out extra whitespace. We could change Hana's power (on this page only) to just "Data transception". I know it's not as descriptive, but it's just for this page, and it will link to the full description on Electronic data transception.... Hiro's power is a bit more tricky -- we could use one of his shorter power names ("teleportation" or "time travel" for instance). I know that's very limiting, but again, it's just for this page. We could also just put "Space-time", or "Bending space-time" might fit too.... Or we can just leave the big cells as they are. Thoughts? — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 12:49, 5 March 2007 (EST)

  • I like it as is. It doesn't really bother me that they take up two lines, and calling Hiro's power "Teleportation" or "Time Travel" even just on this page would be a lot worse in my opinion.--Hardvice (talk) 13:01, 5 March 2007 (EST)
    • It kind of bugs me that there's so much space, but I'll deal. I agree, though, I can't think of a good solution for Hiro's power. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 13:46, 5 March 2007 (EST)

Examples variable

Weird. I didn't think there was an examples variable anymore, but the examples link was just not showing up for me. I added it "examples=" and it showed up in the preview. When I took it off, the examples link was gone. It's showing up now, so it's kinda moot ... but weird, eh? — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:31, 16 March 2007 (EDT)
