The only problem I see with this is that every page for damaging moves must be edited, as there is no shortcut to editing the template, as current templates also take a value for the "power" of non-damaging moves (and other string-related issues). However, that of course isn't really a good reason to neglect it.

One way to do so is by simply adding <nowiki>'''[[Category: Moves with a power of XX]]'''</nowiki> to the bottom of the page. Another way is to use '''[[:Template:Power 150|these kinds of templates]]''', which would add a categorization by power and allow readers to easily navigate to equivalent moves. (The templates have been tested via "Show Preview." Of course, they have not been implemented.)

In short, categorizing moves by their power is reasonable because it is what players look at first. This can all be done cleanly, as it won't change anything else but further organize the move database in an unambiguous manner.
