TheFifteenthMember Yes. You're creepy. I can't say we'll miss you while you're gone, so it'd be best if you did go. We all win that way. — TheFifteenthMember 12:22, 21 July 2014 (UTC) Following on from this, I don't think we need to copy every format from Wikipedia exactly. We're our own Wiki so we have the power to change our format if we want. I find omitting the periods simply strange; there seems to be no reasoning behind it. We must follow grammatical rules, which is why we have periods for captions, so I think we should change the format. Anyone else agree?

They're not sentences. --Neumannz, The Dark Falcon 03:10, 22 July 2014 (UTC)

Well, the Xehanort disambiguation page awkwardly uses full sentences. I've always viewed the disambiguation pages as follows: the different possibilities a search term could mean (let's use "Xehanort" for an example) complete's the sentence that appears at the top of the disambiguation page. For instance, using "Xehanort," let's say the disambiguation page says "Xehanort could mean:" and then we go on to list all the possible things "Xehanort" refers to within the series. If Master Xehanort is the first page we link to on the "Xehanort" disambiguation page, the sentence "Xehanort could mean..." would be finished with "the Keyblade Master who seeks to create a world where light and darkness exist in perfect balance." Then let's say we want to link to Terra-Xehanort. The sentence "Xehanort could mean..." would then be finished by "The possessed body of Terra, who later came to be one of Ansem the Wise's apprentices." I don't like using full sentences on the disambiguation pages, so while the different bullet points technically aren't sentences, they do finish a sentence, which is the sentence that appears at the very top of the page. - Eternal Nothingness XIII 15:46, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
