Forum:Increasing Number of articles

moved from talk page

I noticed there are articles being created recently. But, all them are powers. Attack Crash, Railgun, Telekinesis, etc.

Are they necessary?

I don't think so.

Thus, my petition is to:
 * 1) Delete them since they're not that important and pointless.
 * 2) Merge them to their respective characters.
 * 3) Merge them into a new page, it can be called "Espers powers" or somethink like that.

 * Take note that there are abilities with no named users, like Aero Shooter (風力使い), and we can't just copy-paste the general info on Electromasters and place it on all characters with that ability. For me, Option 2 is the best choice since we can't either delete them (because they do have general info included) or can we merge all Ability articles to one article, which would make the article bloated.


 * Which brings me to another concern: too much information. The Kamijou Touma article has too detailed info regarding the story flow and the Kanzaki Kaori article has the summary of her SS on her article. I think I should further summarize the Chronology section on Touma, while migrating the detailed synopsis on a light novel article and leaving a summary. heraldofmeridian♣ 01:04, November 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * I dont really see whats wrong with having seperate pages for abilities. For example, the Imagine Breaker is a popular technique which any fan would serech for. Having a seperate article for it allows you to reduce the length of the article in the character page, allows you to explain the technique with more detail in the dedicalted page, and would overall be a nice change. The Imagine Breaker section in Touma's page could be summarized, with a link to the ability page given for anyone who wants further info...AlienGamer (Userpage ⁝ Talk) 02:29, November 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't know why you guys talking about this on my talk page, however regarding this topic, I think we should follow the third option. We create a page like a 'List of Esper Abilities', with sections A-Z, here we can list all abilities and give information regarding those abilities, as well as the notable users of those powers, example: Telepathy, with information regarding it, and the user such as Yotsuba.


 * More detailed or unique esper abilities such as the Electromaster class or the Teleporter class, require it's own page of course, however, powers that are unique to only a single individual, such as the Imagine Breaker, Dark Matter or Redirection should be kept in it's character page; people can make a redirect page to an article's subsection if I recall correctly. How about that?---TheGreatEye 13:41, November 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * So, it seems the third option is the best option. Having a page for electromasters or Teleporters only will be unfair compared to others. Lero 01:31, November 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * It would not be unfair at all. Realize that the Electromaster and Teleporter classes have many details regarding the power, recently the Railgun OVA expanded on its weaknesses, and we can’t forget that the vast amount of explanation our dear author provided in explaining on how the Teleporter class works, and that there are variants to those who have such power, such as Musujime Awaki’s Move Point and Saraku’s Kill Point. ---TheGreatEye 03:10, November 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Keeping those abilities in a single article would just clutter it. Lero 01:31, November 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * The articles that would list all those powers would of course list them as well, however, they would only provide a brief summary regarding the ability, and will of course provide a link to that ability’s article page.---TheGreatEye 03:10, November 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * For the variants there is already the character ability section, but the power in general can be placed at the List of Powers.


 * This raises a new problem.... what about magician powers?--Wilfriback 15:44, November 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * We can make an article listing how spells work followed by a list of spell names and magic words used to initiate spells. I could see that page being a little cluttered though..---DPXJube 18:36, November 09 2010 (UTC)

 * Magic spells are varied and are dependant on it's wielder, as of now for me though, there is no proper way to class magical attacks properly, one can classify using the classical elements such as fire, water, wind and earth, but what about other spells that are not under any element such as Etzali's Apperance Burrowing or Oriana's magic? As of now, I say that we keep away from making a list of spells, and simply make individual articles for grand spells such as Angel Fall or La Regina del Mare Adriatico.---TheGreatEye 14:38, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
