I just pictured Retrocogntion users against precognition users and I believe most precognition users will win but it depends on how a character's retrocognition can be to get a win.

Retrocognition is not gonna be helpful in combat at all it's not an combat based ability. It's more so an ability fit for mystry solving.
 
A simple bot edit/redirect for more accuracy in our powers doesnt look more unecessary than creating a new page.
The issue is that precognition and clairvoyance aren't quite the same thing, so I also prefer to keep them separate. Large revisions for no gain should preferably be avoided in my view. On the other hand, retrocognition links would just have to be gradually added to profile pages after we have created the page.

Precognition actually is one of the 3 subtype of Clairvoyance, as shown in the link I sent and I think it wouldn't need more than a bot doing very simple change.

But both options work anyway and others seem to prefer the Retrocognition page one so it's fine to me too.

The precog page on the wiki isn't exactly just about precog it's about any ability that allows to see and predict future

This kinda just make another problem, with our naming becoming more inaccurate.

The other means shown also are technically Information Analysis, which already cover the non-mystic equivalent of Retrocognition.

Nothing absolutely bad, but still not the very best.
 
Asked to comment here.

I think Retrocognition is fine, either on its own or as a subset of Clairvoyance.

Personally, I prefer Retrocognition on its own due to how specific it is as an ability. Although, I'd say 99% of instances in fiction are associated with other powers.
 
This is a good idea, currently there isn't a real way to name it on the wiki. For example, for this profile I just worded alongside Precognition as I couldn't find anything else suitable (other than clairvoyance but that sounds off)
Based on what happened to this profile I also think it should be on it's own.
 
What do other staff members here think about this draft?


Also, should we add "See also" sections at the bottoms of the Clairvoyance, Retrocognition, and Precognition pages that link them to each other?
 
Thank you for the evaluation.
 
Possibly, but let's wait a bit for the others.
 
DaReaperMan:

I have told you to stop with the repeated light trolling and/or derailment.

Anyway, I think that the new powers and abilities page can probably be applied now, in lack of further input.
 
I have created the page:

 
Thank you for the reply.

Should we close this thread then?

Sorry for the terrible necro, but before you do, I would also like to propose adding Eagle Vision users from Assassin's Creed to be listed as one of the notable users of Retrocognition, as their abilities allow them to view past events that had already happened in their full form.
 
I wouldn't mind adding that character as an example, but I do not think that it has a page to link to in our wiki.
