These pages are never okay. It is easy to find a minimum quantity of valid users if your page describes three different powers. You just need to find one user per power, but the resulting page is still garbage.

I am not talking about combinations (though pages based on excessive combinations are also generally low quality) in the form of X and Y and Z. I am talking about pages that try to be more than one thing in the form of X or Y or Z, “Magical Knight” claimed to be characters who were both knight & magician, or alternately characters who were knights with magically enhanced physiologies (stronger, faster, tougher, etc), or alternately again characters who were knights with magical weapons and armour. This was not a combination page; it was three distinctly different archetypes stuffed under a common name. That pages has had an initial edit to point it on a better path (still needs some love though), but there are others that follow the trend of being X or Y or Z or .,,

Some Magical X pages have an analogous Scientific X page where a character can be X and a scientist, or be an X with scientifically enhanced physiology, or be an X with super-tech weapons & equipment. Pages like this are better written as three pages (or however many pages so as to match the quantity of meanings being stuffed under a common title).

When it comes to combination powers, it is not enough to just identify a list of users that have power A and power B. Coincident powers are not inherently combination powers. A combination needs synergy (the whole is greater than the parts) and the two components need to be inherently linked.

If there is a character who can wield magic, and can wield psionics, and can even wield them both simultaneously … well, that character still has two distinct powers and not one combination power.

A lot of powers named as forces describe what are actually energies. So if a disclaimer causes people to reflect on the difference, then that is not a bad thing.

A force is a push, pull, or twist. That is all.

Energy can be expended to exert a force, but energy can also create heat or light; it can manipulate states of matter and pressure. Energy can also be stored, consumed, transported, or extracted from the environment.

The staff are looking at this.

I cannot move to or from another member’s user blog. But if pages are overlapping/duplicating the same thing then I can delete.

What editing mode do you use? Text or visual?

This might be something @Ya Boi King Kai can explain.

I don’t understand what you mean when you say fandom gives you a broken link. Do you create the link properly and then the “w:c:” is removed when you save the edit?

What is the difference between the pages? Or, are the intended to be the same thing?

There is not a merging tool. If the pages are to be merged, which power stays and which goes?

It is then a matter of moving relevant content from the page that will be deleted to the page that will stay.

What is it that you are trying to do?

Is it just a label?

We have had much of this discussion before. The community determined divine was for gods. Within fiction there can be holy and unholy pantheons.

Angels and demons reflect holy and unholy respectively, but the community did not accept that either was divine.

That is the best place to make the changes you are asking about. If you want to create pages, I recommend you view the source of a few pages and copy the page info template as the start point to edit your new page.

Beside the edit button is a button with three vertical dots. If you tap that it will show a short menu. The menu gives you the option to edit source. Click that.
