::::::::::I know that staff may sometimes need dedicated/special ways to discuss things, and that sometimes no communication is just most efficient.

::::::::::The categories in particular needed some refinement, sure. But if it's just you changing some things, I (and ''possibly'' others as well) have no chance to know what the deal is. Recently, for example, I could only guess that you may have ''missed'' to add {{m|Ice Ball}} to {{cat|Moves that power up}}, but ''intended'' not to include {{m|Earthquake}} (and others); I'm just not sure, I don't know your reasoning (and future plans that might influence that)—you might even have just missed them as well. Also, I would, personally, definitely like to at least be able to give some input on your choices as they're made, instead of spamming your (or any) talk page after they're already implemented (especially when I could very well be aware of certain issues that might've fallen through the cracks initially). (Also, as kind of an argument to this, I believe I'm not super pedantic, and I'm very well able to just accept imprecise wording/categorization if it helps overall simplicity/readability/wiki-bility, or carefully made decisions I personally oppose.)

:::::::::::The extent to which I've coordinated with other staff is pretty much "Is this a bad idea?" I'm trying to put things together so (as much as possible) they can be easily and accurately referenced regarding damage calculation. I did indeed miss Ice Ball. But Earthquake's modifier does not act on "power". | |||
:::::::::::There are a number of reasons I may not be real good at the kind/level of communication you apparently want, but right now, the only thing still on my mind is incorporating "Modifiers for the base power" from Smogon's page into [[power]]. And after that I hope to be able to think about the Damage page more directly. I hope that helps somehow.
