This is a talk page dump for december 2014 Please do not edit this page as it is an archive.

Imp/5 dimensional imps and candidates for deletion.
Imps are a type of demon, 5 dimensional imps are beings from the 5th dimension they aren't actually imps, they are called that because there impish ie tricksters and jokers and they mess around with reality for fun.

The two powers are completely different. thats why it doesn't need to be deleted. Also read the history before making a candidates for deletion category, if either Gabriel or Kuopiofi edited it without deciding to delete the page then it doesn't need a candidates for deletion, besides they have senority as Admins and I believe they have final say(well the Founder has more of a say, but he disappeared a long time ago....)SageM (talk) 02:43, December 8, 2014 (UTC)SageM

Warp Energy manipulation only exists in the Warhammer 40k universe, it doesn't exist in any other series, if thats not a specific power then what do you consider it?

I am not trying to be rude or anything. Anyway sorry ^^;;SageM (talk) 03:21, December 8, 2014 (UTC)SageM

just thought you should know.
Oh yeah, just thought you should know your name is still on the list of Inactive admins even though your updating again.SageM (talk) 03:28, December 8, 2014 (UTC)SageM

Also, I know you have been a part of this wiki longer, but I meant gabriel and kuopiofi had senority because they both have been continually editing and updating the website everyday and have more edits then all of the other admins on this site including yourself, so didn't mean any disrespect or anything. Hopefully that clarifies what I meant.SageM (talk) 03:38, December 8, 2014 (UTC)SageM

Omnipathy: omni powers category removed why?
I noticed you removed Omni powers category from Omnipathy page. Even though it counts as an omni power since it lets you read/control all minds at the same time. Since anything that allows you to control all of something or grants you all powers is considered an omni power. so i am wondering why you removed that category from it?SageM (talk) 04:06, December 8, 2014 (UTC)SageM

Ability Organization
I was wondering why is this considered a candidate for deletion?

--CNBA3 (talk) 04:28, December 8, 2014 (UTC)

"Looking"
I'd like to point out that there's nothing "looking" about those powers, read the descriptions: every single one of them has variation of "have the traits and abilities of (being)", and first thing in Capabilities is "User with this ability either is or can transform into an (being)". Every Physiology/Mimicry has that line.

Now, how exactly isn't ability to use powers or be of deities, mythical beings or spirits usable in fighting?

You might also want to note that while Transcendent Physiology gives the most general facts about divine beings, African Deity Physiology and other Pantheon physiologies tells you what powers you'd be able to get by tapping into that pantheons deities.

Please read what the powers actually do the next time you wonder about them. --Kuopiofi (talk) 21:11, December 8, 2014 (UTC)

Physiology/Mimicry
Just woke up so I'm not on my best, so I just explain how they work on this site:

Basically all physiologies/mimicries allow user to either a) mimic/borrow the powers/traits, for example Spiderman mimics spider without any outside changes or someone channeling a deity, or b) there's physical change where the user becomes the thing either completely or partially, for example Wolfsbane shifting physically between human/wolf. --Kuopiofi (talk) 05:28, December 9, 2014 (UTC)

As for the length of description in Capabilities, we've preferred going to the point with what the power does instead of writing long essay that'll be skipped over anyway. --Kuopiofi (talk) 05:47, December 9, 2014 (UTC)

Adrenaline Manipulation doesn't fit the name of the power
Adrenaline manipulation doesn't fit the name of the power, since your not really manipulating it, only activating it so it works faster or better, it doesn't give you any control over it. Besides adrenaline can't really be manipulated anyway, it can be activated to give you boosts of energy or all you to perform feats you normally couldn't but trying to directly manipulate it would end up killing you. So the name fits better as Adrenal Activation.SageM (talk) 00:15, December 13, 2014 (UTC)SageM

Agreed and returned original name. It doesn't actually do any manipulation, just kicks adrenaline up. --Kuopiofi (talk) 06:24, December 13, 2014 (UTC)

Categories
Something I've been meaning to ask, since none of the currently active admins seem to know it: do you have any ideas what category "Powers by type" is supposed to do? It has massive number of sub-categories but absolutely no explanation to what it does.

Clean Up Category? What's that for? --Kuopiofi (talk) 06:20, December 13, 2014 (UTC)

Acid
Just a note: if you change the name of power, it's your job to change them at every single page that has link with the old name. That's right on the rules after far too people went willy nilly chancing names. All Sergekinetic pages are renamed again, if you want to move them to Acid, take a time to change those links. That said, since we've used that pattern with most elemental/energy Constructs, Entity creations and combat powers, I think it would be better to leave them that way.

Before you remove page, check if they actually are duplicates. Compare Serqekinetic Entity Creation (which you renamed to Acid Constructs) and Serqekinetic Constructs and notice that there is quite a difference: Constructs Creation can be used to create any object or entity from that matter/energy, Entity Creation only animal/being of that matter/energy. It's the same thing with every other Elemental Constructs and Elemental Entity Creation, Organic Constructs and Organic Entity Creation is same thing.

Restored Serqekinetic Constructs and removed Acid Constructs because Serqekinetic is on the line of other elemental construct (pyrokinetic, hydrokinetic, etc. constructs/entities/combat), because Serqekinetic is the one that is linked on every page instead of acid constructs and because Acid was simply Serqekinetic Entity Creation renamed. --Kuopiofi (talk) 21:36, December 14, 2014 (UTC)

EM-power
Since you're checking EM waves-Based powers category, did you plan to leave Electromagnet Power as the category covering this area? It's one of the fundamental forces after all. --Kuopiofi (talk) 21:47, December 14, 2014 (UTC)

Serqe/EM
Serqekinetic Constructs = turn acid into tools, objects, weapons and other items, create semi-living constructs and/or create structures/buildings of varying permanence, this includes it's sub-power Serqekinetic Entity Creation = create beings (animals, people, etc.) of acid or shape them to certain shapes. One can be used to create any object from acid, including entities, other just entities.

Problem being that there aren't other users, so of course he's the only one in both, and since he appears in only few episodes and that's the most easily found pic that show what he can do, we used it. Tho' there's that one where he creates those tubes from acid too... changed. Take a look at other Constructs Creation/Elemental Constructs/Energy Constructs and compare them to their related Entity Creation/Elemental Entity Creation/Ergokinetic Creature Creation and you notice that there are different pics/users.

Serqekinetic/Acidokinetic No clue for this, someone just used it and we've been using serge ever since. If you want to change the name, remember that you must change the link in the most obvious pages too, in case of Constructs that'd be Acid Manipulation, Elemental Constructs, SC's sub-powers (not sure if there are other than Serqekinetic Entity), in general might be good idea to check every link on that page. Entity Creation goes to Serqekinetic Constructs, Acid Manipulations Applications Serqekinetic Constructs has link to SEC, Acid Mimicry, at least those but might want to check all links just to be sure. Serqekinetic Combat is on Variations of Elemental Combat and Technique of Acid Manipulation.

As you can see from the amount of links that connect to each of these powers, there's a reason for that "change the name, change every link". Someone has to do it sooner or later, and more than likely that's admin, and more specifically me...

Incidentally, if you remove page, take care to remove that link from the pages it's on, same principle.

Rename it to Electromagnetic Power maybe? It's fundamental force and has several pages/powers directly related to it, so it could use it's own category. --Kuopiofi (talk) 06:15, December 15, 2014 (UTC)

Name Change
It isn't so much finding the pages as how much work you have to go through to change those links. But thanks for the link, it'll be useful. --Kuopiofi (talk) 05:52, December 16, 2014 (UTC)

You were quick to delete my page i created "Identity Theft" (for being incomplete), i was in the process of finishing it. I had to publish it so the information on the infobox wouldn't get scrambled. I dont know why it does that but it happened and another admit told me about it.Squidbaby (talk) 06:24, December 16, 2014 (UTC)

Hey Caydeb ! So, when did you become an admin ? I'm stuck to the Kingsman/Gabriel/Kuopiofi triumvirat, and need to do some history ctach up ^ ^ DYBAD (talk) 22:15, December 17, 2014 (UTC)

I see, so admins are nominated for life, more or less ? Don't worry about the size, you just have to type the "end" button to get right to the new messages ^ ^ DYBAD (talk) 22:31, December 17, 2014 (UTC)

What is a "crat" ? It seems a key word to understand your post. Weren't you inactive for a long time on this wiki ? How are you still an admin in this case ? Re-appointment ? DYBAD (talk) 04:35, December 18, 2014 (UTC)

Yes, it all makes sense now. Thanks ! DYBAD (talk) 00:30, December 20, 2014 (UTC)

Overly Specific Power
Could you explain to me how do you define the overly specific? --Kuopiofi (talk) 17:19, December 21, 2014 (UTC)

Might want to add definition to it. --Kuopiofi (talk) 06:03, December 22, 2014 (UTC)

Why are so many powers being deleted?
HI, I noticed you are deleting a lot of the powers on this wiki recently. Some of the deletions I can understand, but others are valid powers with valid users. I am just wondering why your deleting so many. thats all.SageM (talk) 04:45, December 23, 2014 (UTC)SageM

Transmogrifaction and Transmutation are completely different powers, transmutation is turning one substance into another. While transmogrifaction is turning other people into a different substance.SageM (talk) 04:48, December 23, 2014 (UTC)SageM

Categories/Front
Noticed the change, but admittedly only because you did the change right before I dropped by and it was on top of Recent Changes. --Kuopiofi (talk) 05:25, December 23, 2014 (UTC)

Please keep Creation and Generation in Constructs. --Kuopiofi (talk) 05:28, December 23, 2014 (UTC)
