Talk:Abilities (KH)

Parent page
I am under the impression that this should be a parent page to list the abilities. Each ability will then be separated into separate articles where all descriptions can be written there. You probably wonder, "Why not merge"? My answer: Because we are not Wikipedia and we do not demand something to be notable and referenced for one topic to be separated. Is that okay?

I'm just following what you've said, each special abilities deserves it's own page, but if we merge KH, KHII, abilities and sleights all together, It'll be a veeeery long page, and Donald and Goofy have different abilities in KH and KHII--N/A
 * Sorry, I have to reword that. Blue. 09:49, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I still don't get why we didn't just make them sub-pages of the respective character's articles, like Sora/Kingdom Hearts abilities, Sora/Kingdom Hearts II abilities, etc., (or possibly Sora/Abilities (KH) to make it shorter). Making them individual articles will seem odd in the long run, because a) when we set them up by level they are learned at, a single list would be more comprehensive (the setup will look somewhat different than this one though), and b) most abilities are one-liners, so it's a waste of space. My optimal solution is this: Move this article to Abilities, have it state all the descriptions based on name, not game (so KH, KHII, and KH:CoM are all included), make sub-pages for all the characters listing when they learn what (this includes defense up and such), have links link back to the Abilities article, if people want to read what it does. It's simple, comprehensive, and with the setup I have in mind, probably the best solution. --Hecko X 12:08, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * No objections--N/A
 * No problem with me. Hexed
 * I was actually persuaded by this setup. It looked neat to me and I just want the KHWiki to increase its number of articles. Anyway, waste of space isn't a problem in a wiki. I haven't heard of complains from a wikia staffer that a wiki was eating the server or bandwidth. So that's me preferring such a setup. I gave the idea to make a character subpage, but then there was a suggestion to merge them. Blue. 18:02, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * That setup is very similar to what I had planned for the subpages. And I use the term "waste of space" in an abstract sense. "Physically", the amount of kb used is the same +/- maybe 50, so that has nothing to do with it. It's because of esthetics. Small articles that can't be extended beyond 3-5 lines, because there isn't anymore information, might as well be merged together to get at least one decent sized (in terms of length) article. Active abilities, such as Ragnarok, Trinity Limit and such (which might also be classified as special attacks) can get their own articles because they have special requirements for activating that can be discussed, as well as advice on how to use them to the greatest effect, which obviously can't be done with stuff like "Scan" or "Treasure Magnet". --Hecko X 18:39, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

(undent) So that's that then. We'll just have to know which of the abilities do not deserve an article. Blue. 18:57, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Ally abilities
I am under the impression that ally abilities should be listed in their respective pages. Thoughts?--N/A

I think they should be kept there. -Azul 07:50, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll get started on this soon enough, no worries. --Hecko X 11:51, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
