Need for page

Do we really need this page? Does anyone else think we should move it to a user subpage namespace? Heroe!(talk) (contribs) 11:05, 20 May 2007 (EDT)

  • I don't care one way or the other. It's no worse (or better) than some of our other fan creations. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:04, 20 May 2007 (EDT)

I think if this page is to exist:

  • Each power listed should only provide a brief description and limits.
  • Otherwise, it should definatley belong on a userspace.--Riddler 18:11, 20 May 2007 (EDT)
    • And the most recent addition is why this page shouldn't. People are retarded. --Riddler 18:46, 20 May 2007 (EDT)
  • Since it's been contributed by more than one user (with actual content versus removing content), then I'd stear away from moving it to a subpage. But prior to the other two one-time additions, yes, it belonged as a user subpage.--Bob 19:55, 20 May 2007 (EDT)

Hmmm

I decided to reserve judgment on this article for a few days because, really, it's no different than any of the other fan creations. However, since it seems like people are going to take it seriously (there's a stern warning not to add silly powers now), then I think it should be shot in the face before it gets out of control. The 'ships articles were enough of a headache, what with the prolonged unfunny edit wars, and the Theories articles are still like that. No one is ever going to agree on what constitutes a "silly" fan power and what constitutes a "serious" fan power. I say we either let people add whatever they want (and trim it to a list--we don't need paragraphs on hypothetical powers) or kill it now before it gets out of control.--Hardvice (talk) 18:20, 21 May 2007 (EDT)

  • I think that's a great solution. Let's let it stew and see what comes of it. — RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 19:54, 21 May 2007 (EDT)
    • I think it is funny that in the same edit that the warning not to add silly powers was added, two silly power names were added "crystallogenesis" and "metallogenesis". -Lөvөl 12:35, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

Standards

If we're going to have this page, can't we at least come up with some standards for inclusion and naming? Heroe!(talk) (contribs) 20:51, 21 May 2007 (EDT)

  • Page definatley needs hard standards if it's not to be a user subpage. --Piemanmoo 16:29, 22 May 2007 (EDT)
  • Like I said, just a brief definition of the power and it's limits. We don't need to know how it could be used in battle.

An example I could think of would be: --Ability: Weather Control Description: The ability to control aspects of weather, such as rain, snow, and lightning. Limits: One can only control the weather in an immediate area, and if extreme caution and concentration isn't used, it can become uncontrollable. --Ability: Manifestation Activation Description: Through concentration, he who has this ability can, in short terms, activate ones power, even if they are only an infant. Limits: This can be harmful to those who don't have an ability to manifest, and those who are too young may not be able to control their ability.--Riddler 17:37, 22 May 2007 (EDT)
