Faultline also appears in the last mission given by The Dark Watcher in the RWZ. AzureAvenger 12:34, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Powers

I was thinking that Faultline had some kind of big stomp power, Fault I believe, or maybe it was Tremor? I'm not all that familiar with Stone Melee, but I'll check my demo files and see what I can find. - Snorii 14:14, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Renames, Disambig, something?

So, we have:

Would it be beneficial to perhaps rename the AV page to William Temblor and have the Vanguard/Ally/Hero page be rolled into Jim Temblor? Maybe I am the only one that feels that this convention seems a bit confusing... especially as links are concerned as several places use the Faultline (Hero) to link to Faultline (Ally) even though it is only a redirect. —Thirty7 Talk-Icon.jpg 22:10, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Don't forget Faultline (Pre-Issue 8). -- Blondeshell 23:51, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
Indeed... *sigh* Anyone want to weigh in on opinions on this? —Thirty7 Talk-Icon.jpg 14:47, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
Article names generally go to how they're named in-game. So, having Faultline (Archvillain) is fine, since it's a different entity anyway. Ideally, the Faultline (Ally) article should be merged with his mission article, Jim Temblor, but since some other characters have Ally pages too, I dunno. Sera404 16:28, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
The fact that there is precedent, is somewhat tangent to the point. The issue is that as long as Faultline defaults to the Zone (since it is by far the most common usage) we can't do a proper Disambig to alleviate the ridiculous number of Faultline articles... as such, I suggested a rename to get around this issue slightly... at least in terms of making it easier to link to the proper article for editors if nothing else. —Thirty7 Talk-Icon.jpg 18:21, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
How about this: On the Faultline page, we currently have the following:
  • "This article is about the Paragon City Zone. For the NPC Ally, see Faultline (Ally)."
What if we change that to the following:
  • "This article is about the Paragon City Zone. For other uses of Faultline, see Faultline (Disambig)."
Faultline (Disambig) could then have the full list of all the various uses of the term "Faultline". --Eabrace Healthbar notify phone.png 18:44, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
That is probably the best way to handle it, though I'd prefer we spell out "Disambiguation". -- Sekoia 20:10, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
Something like this: Faultline and Faultline (Disambiguation)? —Thirty7 Talk-Icon.jpg 20:45, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
