I would like us to come to a formal consensus on a Wiki-wide standard on the official spelling and case for "power sets." Please indicate your vote by (reference this talk page for more info) writing in what your preference is as succinctly as possible! — Pill-37.png Talk · Cont 13:13, 4 June 2012 (UTC)

  • powerset; unless used as a heading or an article name, then Powerset — Pill-37.png Talk · Cont 13:15, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Power Set definitely capitalized in headings and article names, not capitalized when used in general reference (e.g. "there are a lot of different power sets in the game"); due to the level of difficulty in distinguishing, I could go either way on capitalization when used specifically to refer to the game mechanic (e.g. "Earth Control is a Primary Power Set"), but would lean toward capitalization. --Eabrace Healthbar notify phone.png 14:03, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Also: two words rather than one, because the progression of Powers, Power Sets, and Primary Power Sets flows more logically in my head. --Eabrace Healthbar notify phone.png 14:04, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
  • My thoughts mirror Eabrace on this. Another reason why it should be two words is the same reason that "costume set" is two words. (I can't imagine anyone intentionally using it as "costumeset.") Blondeshell Sig.png talk / contribs 16:55, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Mostly as with Eabrace. Power Set in headings/article names, power set otherwise, following an extension of the effects rule. However, I don't agree with the usage example of "Earth Control is a Primary Power Set"; instead suggest "Earth Control is a primary power set" since that's what was established in sentence one. ~ AGGE talk/cons 19:09, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
