Talk: Heroes

== More ability information on hero pages? ==

On the hero pages, there is currently little room for adding useful ability information. Abilities have their name and some official description listed, complemented by an "Ability Breakdown" table (that is mostly empty space because many abilities do not use the same statistics). Detailed ability information is instead located on pages for the specific abilities. Many of these pages seem to contain little more than a duplicate of the information in the first table: name and description. This makes it tiresome to read up on all the details of a heroes abilities.

Would it not be better to fit all ability information on the hero page? Basic but important statistics like damage numbers can be displayed in an overview, and more in-depth stats can be displayed under something like a spoiler tag.  For example, something like how it is done on the League of Legends Wikia: http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Veigar [[User:Ecen Silver|Ecen Silver]] ([[User talk:Ecen Silver|talk]]) 03:05, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
:That sounds good to me, if you know how to make a template for something like that and want to get started, please feel free. I've set up the Tabber extension, which should be usable in the near future, and we can maybe combine some other things to make the [[Heroes]] pages a lot more viable in the near future. If you have any other specific questions or need anything, let me know! --[[User:Z3ther|Z3ther]] ([[User talk:Z3ther|talk]]) 19:31, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
::Alright, great! I've been looking into making a template but haven't come up with anything yet, show/hide functionality seems difficult without javascript or css. Will continue to tinker though. Not sure what most of our extensions can do yet! And Tabber seems very useful indeed. --[[User:Ecen Silver|Ecen]] ([[User talk:Ecen Silver|talk]]) 18:25, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

I've created [[Template:Ability_details]] that should be able to be used for containing ability information on the hero page. I've added a preview of some of Torbjörn's abilities using this template at [[Talk:Torbjörn]]. Note that there are some problems with the template that I haven't been able to fix yet. --[[User:Ecen Cronzeton|Ecen]] ([[User talk:Ecen Cronzeton|talk]]) 20:51, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
