Pretty self-explanatory. A superpower/power template. The spell template doesn't come anywhere close to a substitute, and none of the other templates even remotely fit.
Follow up
Some people are suggesting to use the spell template, and as I have already explained, it comes nowhere even close. All of the fields are very specifically geared towards spells, and spells only, and trying to write an article about, say, Pyrokinesis, would be very very difficult using that template.
For now I've settled on using the condition template but it's still very much geared towards diseases.
A superpower template would need fields geared towards how the power works, its limitations, how a person could acquire said power, etc. If these fields were to be added onto the existing conditions template, for example, then probably a selection where you can select whether this is a power or disease or whatever. That's just off the top of my head, but there's probably more fields that this would need. I agree that this should probably be done via adding to an existing template and not creating an entirely new one.
I'm just adding this follow-up for clarification to some of the questions some people had.
TL;DR: Once again, the spell template does, in fact, suck, and we should probably add these fields onto the existing conditions template.
The Team's Response
Thanks for the suggestion! We won't add a new template for superpowers, but we're definitely open to improving existing templates and we'll be discussing internally how to improve the Spell template.
In the future, to suggest an improvement, please create a suggestion with the specific improvements you want to see instead of being generic in your description. Additionally, please be constructive in your criticism; saying that something we've built for you "sucks" doesn't help and is not appreciated.
