			:: Updated [[User:FeralKitty/Broadswipes]] to transclude formulas from subpage. (Eventually live via Widget?) Obviously this nerfs whitespace style, as well as grouping formulas since base and upgrade will be identical?

			: '''Style:''' Semantically, I see no reason to use Code or Preformatted. I've just been using bulleted lists, like on [[Crowtouched]] or [[Skeletal]]. On Crowtouched, I did include damage and shred on the same line (like in game), but it is easy to miss the shred at the end, so I think separate lines would be preferred.

			'''Style'''<br>
			A standard format for damage formulas should be adopted. At present, there are several different markup approaches in use (also using a mix of single-line vs. multiple lines (for Damage:, Shred:, etc.):
			* No format: (AoE 2.1 radius, Pot+2d3 damage, Pot/2+1 shred, Pot/2 pierce, 4.6 range from either Wood) [[Elementalist#Splintersalvo]]
			* Code format: <code>[[Potency]]+[[Spell Damage]]</code> [[Humanist#Metal]]
			* Preformatted:
			Damage: (2 to 6) + ([[Potency]] + [[Spell Damage]])
			Shred: 1 + 1/2(Potency + Spell Damage)

			'''Consistency'''<br>
			* 1/2(Bonus Damage + Potency) vs. (Bonus Damage + Potency)/2 vs. ½(Bonus Damage + Potency). ''The tooltips use the first; the other two may be more difficult to read and/or parse.''
			* (Potency + Spell Damage + 1) vs. (Potency+Spell Damage+1). ''Whitespace makes the first more readable.''
			* (Potency + Spell Damage) vs. (Pot + Spell Damage). ''Unnecessary abbreviations are more difficult to parse. We should spell it out so it's not ambiguous or confusing.''
			* (2 to 6) vs. 2d3. ''The tooltips use the first; the other requires the reader to be familiar with dice notation.''

			'''Descriptions'''
			In-game descriptions may differ between base and upgraded/+ abilities, so two separate descriptions should probably be provided. E.g.,
			<q>''Tools sharpen their heads and throw themselves into a horrific frenzy, rending targets in a nearby area with a 50% chance of [[stun]]ning on hit.''</q>

			<q>''Tools sharpen their heads and throw themselves into a horrific frenzy, rending targets in a nearby area with a 100% chance of [[stun]]ning on hit.''</q>

			'''Grouping descriptions and damage'''<br>
			At present, base and upgraded damage are grouped together. It might improve readability if there was a base section (with its description and damage), followed by an upgraded/+ section (with its description and damage). See [[User:FeralKitty/Broadswipes]] for one example of this.
