Ok. Please notify me once you do. I think I want to say something to some of the cases.

I will post the link here.
Since it's a bunch of random character, I could write in the topic that users are allowed to make proposals to character that should have it added or removed.
Or there's the risk to make it too much chaotic?

I think that would be ok. Inorganic Physiology isn't a very controversial power, I believe.

I'm hoping this is the right place to ask for reformatting verse-specific powers, so I'll just post this here. On Fugil Arcadia's last key, he has an ability listed as Reload-on-Fire, which upon clicking on the link of said ability, redirects you to this messy page.

Could this be a better image for Spatial Manipulation? With actual explanation of what the character is doing. "Griffith distorting space to catch Skull Knight's space-cutting attack"

I think our pages lean more for visual than reading what happens. You know the saying "an image is worth one thousand words". While the manga panel has some drawing of it, it's small and not something that makes one think of spatial manipulation. At the same time, I think we could find a better image from a manga/comic regarding spatial manipulation than the one from pokemon.

Well, I suggested it because I didn't really get what was happening on the page picture lol. Thought it would be better to have a scan with explanation of ability in use, but fair enough

Is it feasible for the pages to have a mini gallery? And like, it can contain examples from different media (although it probably would only include those with image).
It doesn't have to be now, but some time in the future. Especially for pages like Teleportation, which has different types, it might be helpful to have images that portrays them if it's possible. It doesn't have to be as massive as some of the pages from powerlisting wiki.
Just a thought and a suggestion though.

^That's an idea I support wholeheartedly

Could work I guess, multiple images would help one make a better image of a power in their head if words aren't enough.

... That's not a regular page, that's a blog.
- 9,486

It appears to be some sort of verse-specific ability at a first glance, which is why I thought it needed a proper page, instead of some blog.
- 15,920
- 2,693
I don't really agree with the idea of making a verse-specific ability page for something only 2 characters have. All main uses of Reload of Fire are already linked to their respective use on the pages itself, so I don't think there's a need either.

May I ask why? It's just a sandbox page from what I'm looking.

Ah, if that's the case, then a page isn't necessary.

Oh I thought Blogs weren’t allowed inside the P&A Page so only Pages are allowed there
if they’re allowed then I don’t see any problems

Since we were already debating revisions to the wording of the page here: It has been brought to my attention that the formulation of Type 1 Inorganic Physiology can easily be misunderstood. Hence I wish to suggest to reformulate it in a fashion that clarifies better and makes the distinction to type 2 very clear. My proposal is:
- 167,676
- 76,256
I think that DontTalkDT's suggestion seems fine to me.
Also, I do not think that we are supposed to link to blog posts to define powers and abilities in character profile pages, or at least it isn't traditionally according to our conventions to do so.

I think it makes sense

Which is why the "Unless shown otherwise"
I don't think that assuming a person who's made from rocks is gonna have the properties of a rock unless the verse gives a clear indication it does not is that out there

I think it depends by each case, the inorganic physiology already does that to avoid redundancy, but it's not specific for every existing type of material for obvious reasons.
I mean, if a character has wings we can assume it can fly (if it's not a 5 meters tall stone golem with the wings of a swallow).
But writing that in the page itself might be dangerous.

I think Tllmbrg isn't asking for a mass-application of something, more like if they are allowed to add a power depending on "common sense", but it depends on what to who.
Anyway, the inorganic physiology already covers a number of powers those characters may have by default due to not being organic.

If someone of this note decides to add a idk a resistance to transmutation to someone made of argon due to it not reacting to any other substance in nature that's them being dumb and not a problem with the note
Again is our baseline assumption in fiction to assume that something made from rocks does not function like rocks?
Literally why we assuming that biological manipulation doesn't work on them automatically without feats, same logic here imo
- 10,873
- 12,277
I mean, for the biological manipulation part it's more so that feats are provided due to the fact that the definition of the power doesn't allow a biological entity to have it. So a feat of any form of inorganic physiology is a feat of resisting that. In a case were that wasn't the case, they wouldn't have that ability anyways.
Regardless of that, I wish to point out that some kinds of rock can technically conduct electricity... I think. Rocks can have metal deposits and stuff.
Aside from that there is nothing wrong with the quote itself. Of course, if we are talking about their composition, it is necessary to prove they actually have that composition. Not everything silver is metal and all that.
I wonder whether the note has any real purpose, though. It's unusual to have one ability page clarify whether other abilities should be given. Like, most abilities can under certain circumstances give other abilities. As long as we apply the same scrutiny to this than every other power nothing is said beyond what we assume anyways.

Fair enough
I mean sure, but the rock thing was more so a generic example that's generally true you could replace it with plastic if you want to
I mean proving composition probs won't be hard since most times inorganic people are stated outright to be X material
And I feel like inorganic Physiology should have it since from what I've seen people don't tend to give powers based on composition alone, and it's not really a straight application of said power but an inherent property that comes along with your material, just like how them being unaffected by biology manipulation is an inherent property
