I am restarting discussion on this thread since there have been some recent updates to some character pages for magical abilities.

This is in relation to the recent abilities edits on Mr. Gold and Rumplestiltskin's pages. Firstly, I still believe the magical abilities section should be kept short when listing how the character has used a particular magic ability. My opinion is that if it's a list showing bullets for magical abilities, the first sentence after each bullet should give the general gist of what the ability does, and it doesn't need to be excessively descriptive.

I'm still confused about what format is being used as episode citations, especially since it's been a while since this discussion has been active, so I just wanted to make sure. Is it still using the format (First episode where the type was used) ?

One thing I wanted to bring up is the counterpart pages. Mr. Gold is Rumplestiltskin, but some of the powers he actually demonstrated was during his time as Rumplestiltskin when he was the Dark One. Yet, in present time, Mr. Gold is still the Dark One, so should the powers he used in the past as Rumplestiltskin still be listed on Mr. Gold's page? I'm also not a fan of overlapping by referring to Mr. Gold as Rumplestiltskin in the abilities section specifically since the wiki has separate pages for both counterparts.

I noticed Fairy Magic was listed as one of both Mr. Gold and Rumplestiltskin's abilities. I deleted it because I believe that doesn't actually count because Mr. Gold / Rumplestiltskin is harnessing a wand to utilize fairy magic. If he didn't have the wand, he would not be able to do any fairy magic at all.
