Hello.
Our administrators and bureaucrats have had a private discussion in which I asked if it is a good idea to better clarify our current rules for using bolded text in "powers and abilities" section links, for the sake of improved readability and avoiding further edit-wars.
https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/S...les?so=search#Powers_and_Abilities_Formatting
Here is the draft for adjusted rules that DontTalk wrote in response:
Formats: It's up to the author of a page to decide whether it's best to put detailed explanations and justifications for abilities in this section, in the Feats section or in the Notable Attacks/Techniques section. Depending on how much is put in this section, we use several different formats. The decision on when exactly to start using which is made case-by-case.
DontTalk kept the exact borders vague, so that people have sufficient wiggle room for their profiles based on what they think works best.
Do these suggested more specific rules seem acceptable to our staff, or should they be improved further?

- Unbolded Paragraph Format: Abilities are listed in a paragraph style, with the abilities (and their justifications) separated from each other by commas and the abilities not bolded. This format may be preferable for profiles that have few abilities such as here or for Power sections that feature few explanations and justifications compared to the number of abilities such as here.
- Bolded Paragraph Format: Abilities are listed in a paragraph style, with the abilities (and their justifications) separated from each other by commas and the abilities bolded. This format should be used if on average there is a medium amount of text between abilities. See successful examples of this here and here.
- Bullet Point Format: Abilities are presented using a bullet point list, with one bullet point for each ability. In this format, the abilities should be bolded. This format should be used if on average there is a lot of explanation for each ability. Examples of pages that have incorporated bullet points successfully here and here.
