Little suggestion

It appears all of your asterisk notes say the same thing, so it would be more efficient to simply put something like *: This Pokémon has the highest stat if Legendary Pokémon and Mega Evolutions are excluded. at the top or bottom. Tiddlywinks (talk) 03:27, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

More efficient, but less consistent with how we generally treat tooltips/asterisks elsewhere on the wiki, as far as I'm aware. If it gets mainspaced, it's anyone's prerogative to change, and if it doesn't, I prefer this formatting because of said consistency, so for now I won't change it. Thanks for the concern, though! Do you happen to have any commentary on the suggestion itself? Pumpkinking0192 (talk) 03:41, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
I can't say as I care enough immediately to offer any worthwhile commentary, sorry.
The thing is, tooltips are fine if the note might vary. If it doesn't, people will just be hovering over everything thinking the next one might be different, but it won't be. It wastes the user's time as much as anything. You say we don't normally do it that way, but a fairly prominent feature, our breeding tables, do exactly that. In a similar vein, the bold/italics in every learnset table are basically just more of the same. Tiddlywinks (talk) 03:57, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
