Talk:Ability Template

After following around some edits I figured it should be discussed what the intro to any given ability is. Up until now it was kept highly minimalistic and straight forward in an effort to maintain an easy pattern, i.e.: use of the adjectives "offensive", "defensive", "movement", "disrupting", etc. followed by the ability type as a link, i.e.: "skill, "reaction", etc.  Should this be maintained or should we go to something a little more elaborate.  For my part I like the method used thus far.  What say you guys?  ---Galactus 17:22, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the minimalistic system is best. We could also use a category system... i.e. have a category for "Movement Skill" or something to that effect so that people looking for all Movement skills can just see the category... could also have sub categories for actions, reactions, etc.  Just a thought.

 * Can you elaborate on this subcategory idea? ---Galactus 17:28, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Featured on?
I was wondering if we should list both grunt AND elite AND/OR shadow/glass units separately if they share the ability. I kinda feel like "yes" so as to be as detailed as possible, but kinda "no" as it might be over detailed. What say you? ---Galactus 18:00, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
 * If they share it, then I think a link that says "Unit Grunt/Elite/Shadow/Glass" would be fine. I definitely don't think we should have separate names for more than one version of what's essentially the same unit. Prowland 18:47, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

A little trick
When creating a list of all the figures that have an ability, try using the link in the toolbox that says "What links here"

Be careful though, some of those pages are NOT actually figures that have the ability. For instance, the Nautilus Blaster page mentions Tow in the Strategy section but the Nautilus Blaster itself does not have Tow. Prowland 19:58, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Hieroglyph Image
We should definitely add a spot for images of the Hieroglyphs. Abilities need to be associated with their respective image so that new players (and old) can easily tell what's what.Gearbox 02:49, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
