Linderman
- Just to further compound things: the clip they showed at the Paley Festival doesn't confirm that Linderman is an evolved human. It confirms that he claims to be an evolved human. He should be added to this page when he displays a power, not when he says he has one.--Hardvice (talk) 15:59, 15 March 2007 (EDT)
- That's why I entered it commented out. Hopefully it will keep others from coming along after seeing the spoilers that he will have a power, and adding him prematurely, when the see the commented entry already there. This is no difference than the precedence we have done in the past with Candace and Dale. Both of them were listed before it was confirmed, yet commented out to deter anyone from adding them prematurely. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 03/15/2007 16:06 (EST)
- Right. I just don't want somebody to see that scene, which doesn't prove he's evolved, and restore it.--Hardvice (talk) 16:24, 15 March 2007 (EDT)
- I just added clarification comments within the comments themselves...hopefully that will be enough to prevent any premature showing of that row by any semi-conscious, non-trolling person. --HiroDynoSlayer (talk) 03/15/2007 16:36 (EST)
- Technically, the difference is that Candace and Dale were true spoilers--we already knew they had powers before they appeared. Heck, Candace was on the list, so we knew she had powers months ago. Here, Linderman is saying he has powers, and that's not always to be trusted. ... However, Malcolm McDowell did tell Entertainment Weekly he had a power, which I tend to believe a bit more than the scene referenced.... Personally, I don't mind having Linderman here commented out, I just don't think it's necessary. If somebody comes along and adds him to the list, then we should either delete it until it airs, or comment it out. By putting it in early, I feel it encourages adding spoilers to pages early. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 17:48, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

Reformat
If we get rid of the actor column (which is out-of-world info in an in-world article), and merge the status column with the name (i.e. "Brian Davis (deceased)", then we can get rid of the cryptic codes in the source column and opt for things like "The List", "The Map", "The Journal". Thoughts?--Hardvice (talk) 02:10, 28 March 2007 (EDT)
- So you can see the difference and to make maintenance easier, I added a template. Here's a sample of what I'm talking about:
- The "deceased" reflexes are automatic, and allow for either just a "deceased" notation (like Felipe Acerra) or a link to Sylar's victims (like Charlie). The links for powers, names, and locations are also automatic. See Template:Evolved for a rundown of how it works. Having a template will also allow us to make major changes to the formatting of the table with minimal adjustments to the template itself, so we should probably switch to a template even if we keep the current layout.--Hardvice (talk) 02:39, 28 March 2007 (EDT)
