Well, personally, I think it looks better, more organized, this way. What does everyone else think?
I agree with lady junky that your idea will take up more space, but I also agree that your idea looks better and is more organized. I like yours better.
Lady has a point. We don't need lots of space being wasted here, if it can be nicely put separated by a comma, why make it huge?
I think you see my point. It is mainly because Lily's list would take too much place when we do not need it :)
I'm for this type of list. To separate, let's say, each type of Witchcraft with bullets per line would take up too much space.
Whatever happened to this idea? It got consensus so, why didn't it get done?
Think it's redundant, when we already have a list here http://onceuponatime.wikia.com/wiki/Magic#Known_Practitioners
I am restarting discussion on this thread since there have been some recent updates to some character pages for magical abilities.
This is in relation to the recent abilities edits on Mr. Gold and Rumplestiltskin's pages. Firstly, I still believe the magical abilities section should be kept short when listing how the character has used a particular magic ability. My opinion is that if it's a list showing bullets for magical abilities, the first sentence after each bullet should give the general gist of what the ability does, and it doesn't need to be excessively descriptive.
I'm still confused about what format is being used as episode citations, especially since it's been a while since this discussion has been active, so I just wanted to make sure. Is it still using the format (First episode where the type was used) ?
One thing I wanted to bring up is the counterpart pages. Mr. Gold is Rumplestiltskin, but some of the powers he actually demonstrated was during his time as Rumplestiltskin when he was the Dark One. Yet, in present time, Mr. Gold is still the Dark One, so should the powers he used in the past as Rumplestiltskin still be listed on Mr. Gold's page? I'm also not a fan of overlapping by referring to Mr. Gold as Rumplestiltskin in the abilities section specifically since the wiki has separate pages for both counterparts.
I noticed Fairy Magic was listed as one of both Mr. Gold and Rumplestiltskin's abilities. I deleted it because I believe that doesn't actually count because Mr. Gold / Rumplestiltskin is harnessing a wand to utilize fairy magic. If he didn't have the wand, he would not be able to do any fairy magic at all.
I think we should work on the format. Right now, it is open to a lot of inconsitencies between pages. I think we should make some sort of checkbox template which would work similar to the Appearances one. That way, it would look exactly the same on all pages, and it would be very clear which types of magical abilities the character wields. This would include all the types of magic + shapeshifting + teleportation + world-crossing.
What do you guys think?
