Draeth Darkstar brought a good question on Blondeshell's talk page regarding just how and when things like -SPD/-Speed and Smash/Smashing should be used in in full or just plain which one is the standard we should be standardizing to! I had no idea, and it was something I have noticed in quite a few places... so thought it might be good to have a centralized discussion about just what it should look like.

- For what it's worth, I think the tables and such look and read better written out longhand rather than abbreviated, but I realize there may be some concern about unnecessary length. The current usage seems to be pretty arbitrary between the two, though, which just seems messy to me. -Draeth Darkstar 23:02, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
- The tables are supposed to be abbreviated with the power descriptions to include the whole text. This isn't always the case, but that's how it started out. ~ User:Aggelakis/Sig1 23:14, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
- Is that standard supposed to be applied to the PowerLevel table, the PowerBlock tables, or both, Agge? -Draeth Darkstar 23:24, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
- The tables are the ones at the top of the page; they are supposed to be abbreviated. The power descriptions are the rest of the page, they are supposed to be long-form. Looking at the source, Powers_Level should be abbreviated and PowerBlock should be long-form. ~ User:Aggelakis/Sig1 23:59, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
- Assuming that's how it should be... to we have a standard for things like -SPD vs -Spd, or +Dmg, +DMG, +DAM? I think I have seen a lot of ways to refer to things, also the Smash/Smashing mentioned above. User:Thirty7/Sig 12:30, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
- I don't think there's been any effort to standardize HOW effects get abbreviated. ~ User:Aggelakis/Sig1 18:15, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
