Overview
VSBW has over 200 standard power pages, and the number is rising all the time. I believe, and I think most others do as well, that they should seek to be as comprehensible and representative of our wiki as possible.
However, the latter part of those requirements is not present in a good chunk of them. You'll see a lot of pages that have examples listed on their Example section from just a single or a couple of mediums, sometimes even a couple of franchises period. In the former case, anime/manga is the most common example, though not the only.
I think these pages could do with some diversity, and that is the purpose of this thread: diversifying the range of examples provided in our power pages (or at least the ones that need them). I don't really have, nor should there be in my opinion, a definite metric for this sort of thing. However, a couple of examples being added will go a long way, with the bonus of providing more options for recognizing the usage of a power (more examples from more mediums = a greater chance of having been encountered before).
My criteria for creating the list:
I have created the list of power pages that are in my opinion lacking in their examples. As I said before the criteria for this isn't exact, but I've stuck to basic template to pick these out:
-pages with less than three examples
-pages with 50% or above (roughly) of examples provided by the same medium
If anyone has any better ideas for this vague system of evaluating them, I'm open to suggestions.
Ze list
Here are all the power pages that could, in my opinion, use some replacement or addition in terms of examples:
*Absolute Zero
*Accelerated Development
*Acid Manipulation
*Adaptation
*Afterimage Creation
*Aura
*Automatic Translation
*Avatar Creation

*Berserk Mode

*Zero-Dimensionality (this one may have to stay the same just from sheer absence of examples)
General guidelines for additions
Now, while I desire to revise these pages with a more robust roster of examples, there's a couple of things to keep in mind so as to not make this revision completely redundant:
1. Suggest examples from mediums that are not already dominant in the profile. For example, if a profile has a majority of Western video game characters as examples, do not suggest more Western video game characters to be added. Find something else from another medium.
2. Do not give suggestions for examples to be taken from the following verses: Akame ga Kill, Kill la Kill, Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, Dragon Ball, DC, Marvel, Warhammer 40K, Bionicle, Digimon, Fate, Fairy Tail, Doctor Who, Ben 10, To Aru Majutsu no Index, Touhou Project, The God of High School, Toriko, SCP, Umineko, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Gurren Lagann.
The reason for this is simple: these verses already have a massive overrepresentation in our powers and abilities pages.
3. Since this is a wiki wide revision, it has been put in the staff forum. However, since it's rather less serious than many other revisions and I'm eager to see the help flow in, I'll be a lot more lenient with who I allow to post on here.
In conclusion
I'm tire.
