Another suggestion about how to do examples of powers images....(hold off on deleting this page for a bit)

Revision as of 13:37, 31 October 2007

This list of examples seems quite sparse to me. Almost like everything here could just go back on the regular page. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:19, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

  • Agreed, I linked it to the pages simply because it existed (and was orphaned). If examples begin to get numerous, this page should exist, but until then it seems redundant to have it. Lulu 23:22, 30 October 2007 (EDT)
    • I'm glad you did link it, otherwise I might not have seen it. (By the way, thanks for taking care of those orphaned pages and uncategorized images.) Anyway, I'd much rather see it go back on pyrokinesis until we have more examples. Wishful thinking, I guess. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:24, 30 October 2007 (EDT)
      • The pyrokinesis page actually hold ALL of the pictures and examples this pages does. So, it already is done. I can't say we'd be losing any information at all by deleting the page. (And, not a problem. Something to do in spare time.) Lulu 23:28, 30 October 2007 (EDT)
        • I'll mark it for deletion. Our policy has generally been to only add examples pages after 10-12 examples exist. And the page should be more detailed with examples than the originating page. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 23:33, 30 October 2007 (EDT)
          • OK guys, let's think out of the box just a bit.
