Talk:Abilities (EU2012)
Excessive use of tables?
No offence Hobbes, but putting all abilities in one or several big tables was a horrible idea. It has a lot of repetitive data (Class, Rank) the really important focus, the descriptions are horrible to try and read (italic, centred and really no grouping).
Personally I prefer to use wiki tables, but that might just be a matter of taste (I don't know what is best). --Kokkan 16:39, 21 September 2012 (EDT)
- I'm using this format here because my intention was to have an simple overview of the entire perk system - I'm not planning to add anymore data or details - that can go to the Classes articles (and your wiki tables are looking good there - I also preferred your descriptions rather than the game ones). As you mentioned, I've changed the format from centered to left - i will later get rid of the italics as well, once we get all the official descriptions. Do you have any other suggestion to present this data here?Hobbes 17:15, 21 September 2012 (EDT)
- The current way you are doing it looks fine to me, grouping it by class, OTS, equipment makes it a lot more readable. Later we can add a section with Alien abilities grouped by alien race or something.If I were to comment on something though, then it would be to keep the "increment" data in the left most column (that would be rank in the case) --Kokkan 09:52, 24 September 2012 (EDT)
- Then again, I'm not sure. Since all abilitie4s can't be sorted this way.--Kokkan 10:44, 24 September 2012 (EDT)
