Talk:Bite

Referring to recent changes (that I do agree with), there should be a different way of classifying/describing each individual skill on the disambiguation page in order to deal with multiple entities using the same skill. Consider a user who wanted to find out how much damage his Jungle Stalker's Bite did. He would search "Bite" and be directed to this page. What if he didn't know that all Feline pets used the same Bite as his? What if he didn't even know that his Jungle Stalker was a Feline? He would glance over all of the listed skills and not see "Bite (jungle stalker)" on there. Seeing that the page does list individual pets such as the Armorfish or Shark, he might think that "Feline" is the name of an individual pet, simply deduce that "Jungle Stalker" is not listed due to wiki negligence, and try his luck on another page. While I do realize he could just search "Jungle Stalker" and find out there, we should remove that need by making this page more clear. I'd suggest changing

to

or

  • Bite (feline).png Bite, a pet skill for all pets in the Feline class. (or something of the sort)

The second option might get lengthy at some points, and the third option might require some clarification for what pets are in which class; but I believe either one is preferable to the current. ~ Bow User Bow Sig.png | 00:26, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

I came up with a simpler option - the pet family names never should've been title-cased to start with, so after lower-casing them, I just made them plural. —Dr Ishmael User Dr ishmael Diablo the chicken.png 00:46, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
This is an improvement, but I still feel it's a problem that some people might not know which category their pet falls under. I might be splitting hairs though. ~ Bow User Bow Sig.png | 03:44, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
