Try not to use abbreviations. For example, use "Photon Blast" instead of "PB". Some players may not know what these abbreviations mean, and for appearance's sake, it's much more pleasing to the eye to look at "''Mylla & Youlla is a Photon Blast that applies Shifta and Deband''" than "''M&Y is a PB that gives SD''". This wiki should be readable in plain English, not abbreviations known only to veterans of the game. | Try not to use abbreviations. For example, use "Photon Blast" instead of "PB".
