The template is divided by physical and special columns based on how the attacks went prior to [[Generation IV]]. Your edits basically made it look like {{t|Dark}}-type attacks were physical and {{t|Ghost}}-type attacks were special prior to the split when, in fact, the reverse is true (Ghost was physical, Dark was special). As such, your edits to that template constitute vandalism. Please don't do it again. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 20:38, 17 April 2008 (UTC) | The template is divided by physical and special columns based on how the attacks went prior to [[Generation IV]].

:Updates should show how it is now, not how it was. How can this be vandalism? --[[User talk:Venomoth|☯ ]][[User:Venomoth|*Ɣℯⲛօӎօṫհ*]][[User talk:Venomoth| ☯]] 21:20, 17 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
::It's vandalism because you were inserting false information. The reason the template is like that is because that's how attacks worked in [[Generation III]] and before, before the physical/special split in [[Generation IV]] rendered the type-based attack classification categories obsolete. Someone screwing up and making every Dark-type attack except one physical in Generation IV does not change the fact Dark-type attacks were special in Generation III. | |||
::If your "how it is now" philosophy WERE to be applied to that template, the correct action would be eliminating the columns, since "how it is now" is physical and special not even depending on type. You had zero reason to make those edits the way you did. | |||
::Please leave this subject matter alone before you end up blocked. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 21:29, 17 April 2008 (UTC) | |||
