Talk:Ability development

Ability Examples & Images

For those monitoring this page, if you can come up with any other examples of ability development please tell me and I will add it. Also, if you have any images I can use I would really appreciate it (I'm also looking for a better lead image)'--Elemental Manipulator [ U | T | C ] - When in doubt, ask BTE 02:27, 22 February 2009 (EST)

Modifications

I took the liberty of making some modifications, hope that you dont mind. I see Mainspace potential for this page! --SacValleyDweller (talk) 03:21, 22 February 2009 (EST)

• Thanks for that. I'm glad you like the page. --Elemental Manipulator [ U | T | C ] - When in doubt, ask BTE 03:28, 22 February 2009 (EST)

SVD, a quick question. What pages link to 'list of abilities'? A couple days ago I tried redirecting 'ability' from the search bar to my ability (disambig) page but you undid the change. --Elemental Manipulator [ U | T | C ] - When in doubt, ask BTE 23:16, 25 February 2009 (EST)

• See here. Looks like there are 205 links. No, wait, now there's 206. :) The list of abilities is a better page for ability to link to anyway--it almost always refers to one of the abilities on that page, and not something from the disambig page. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:24, 25 February 2009 (EST)

Comments

If anybody wants to comment on my page, fell free to do so. It would be good to get some feedback. I'm hoping this page can go to mainspace. --Elemental Manipulator [ U | T | C ] - When in doubt, ask BTE 05:48, 27 February 2009 (EST)

• I think all that's missing is consistently having initial limits on all the abilities and citing when the development of the ability took place (and maybe a cite on the initial state of the ability, too), and it would be ready for the mainspace! --SacValleyDweller (talk) 01:47, 28 February 2009 (EST)
  • Thanks for the feedback; i'll make those corrections. Also, do you think 'mental manipulation' and 'poison emission' belong on this page? I'm not completely sure. --Elemental Manipulator [ U | T | C ] - When in doubt, ask BTE 02:09, 28 February 2009 (EST)
    • The revisions are done. Any other comments? (from anyone?) --Elemental Manipulator [ U | T | C ] - When in doubt, ask BTE 02:14, 2 March 2009 (EST)
      • Cite the initial limits with when the ability first appeared in it's weakest state, and cite the images in the gallery, and it will be perfect. --SacValleyDweller (talk) 02:34, 2 March 2009 (EST)

If there is no more discussion on this page then I will move it to mainspace. -- Elemental Manipulator [ U | T | C ] - When in doubt, ask BTE 00:13, 6 March 2009 (EST)

• I think the page looks good. There are a few very minor stylistic things that need to be edited ("evolved humans" shouldn't be capitalized, the "Graphic Novel" prefix doesn't need to be included in cites, numerals should be spelled out) but overall the page looks very good. However, when we're talking about development of abilities, it tends to lead towards speculation. I'm not at all opposed to this article being put in the main namespace, but I think it would be better off as a fan creation, much like the article about ability homology is a fan creation. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:27, 7 March 2009 (EST)
  • I hope that eventually this page will go to mainspace. I tried to stick to clear examples of ability development that we have seen (my only concern is poison emission, but I kept it seeing as she needed another ability to deactivate it first) to avoid speculation and ability development has been referred to in main canon and by the writers, so it's not as much a fan-made thing as ability homology. I'll leave it as a sub-page for the moment and hopefully I can get more support for a mainspace place in the future. -- Elemental Manipulator [ U | T | C ] - When in doubt, ask BTE 23:58, 7 March 2009 (EST)
    • I think it's ready to go in the main namespace now. But if you want to see what others think of it first, that's fine. See what others think about whether it should or shouldn't be labeled with the fan creation flag. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 14:01, 8 March 2009 (EDT)
• Great page, I think it should go in the main space, don't mind if it has the fan creation flag. :) --posted by Laughingdevilboy

• Hey mate, just congratulating you on a great page and for finally getting it moved into the main namespace.--Steely McBeam - (talk) 11:11, 11 March 2009 (EDT)

Hi

Was looking at your page and thought you could add a few things, like how some control their ability i.e. Elle being able sharp shoot her electricity or the fact Meredith only seemed to produce small balls of fire in her hand and went onto producing torrents of flame (even if pumped full of adrenaline). --posted by Laughingdevilboy Talk 14:37, 8 March 2009 (EDT)

• They are good ideas but this page is more about the extra things that can be achieved with the abilities rather than controlling them better. -- Elemental Manipulator [ U | T | C ] - When in doubt, ask BTE 01:14, 9 March 2009 (EDT)

Adding to Power Template

I'm not sure how to add this page to the template. Help? -- Elemental Manipulator [ U | T | C ] - When in doubt, ask BTE 01:41, 11 March 2009 (EDT)

• It basically needed to be added to Category:Abilities (which it already was). To be put in the See Also section instead of the main section of the navbar, it just needed to be added to Template:AbilitiesPortalNav. Done and done. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 02:20, 11 March 2009 (EDT)
  • Thanks for that. -- Elemental Manipulator [ U | T | C ] - When in doubt, ask BTE 02:41, 11 March 2009 (EDT)

healing

I'd recon that rapid cell regeneration has up-graded because Clair used to be able to feel pain and now she can't.

• That's not really development as she didn't mean for it to happen. Also, as a passive ability it can't be developed by the holder. --Elemental Manipulator [ U | T | C ] - When in doubt, ask BTE 02:34, 16 March 2009 (EDT)
