I was wondering if there is a way to separate the stances abilities?
For example, Hel's Hinder / Cleanse or in Tyr's case where his abilities share the same name but add a way so that it separate the damage stance from the defense stance into two different abilities and icons just for BBCoding when someone wants to make a guide for a god with stances. I feel it will save time and would make it easier to understand what ability at what time or just so it looks nicer when it's displayed in a guide.
Like Ducks was saying, make Kaldr, The Winter Wolf BBCoding shortened to Kaldr. Or what I said like having Tyr's Fearless separated into Fearless (Assault) and Fearless (Guard).
I feel small changes like these can make it easier on the guide creators on this site.
The kaldr change would be nice however for tyr's stances I don't really find it needed. changign it for Hel or [[ullr] is a different story. those ability's have another name.

^ These already existed, but I updated their descriptions and changed their visibility so you can actually access the pages (they were deprecated before, and deprecated items/abilities currently lead to a 404 page).
As you can see, there are a lot of icons showing on the left now (top 4 = combined abilities, the 8 below that are the individual ones). We can work on hiding the ability icons of the individual abilities in the future (unless you guys actually prefer it this way), but at least for now you know these can be used in guides / on the forums.
An alternative approach would be to deprecate them again and fix the pages 404'ing, leaving the [[ ]] BBCode intact, but I'd like to add a "Removed" tag to deprecated items on SF in the future (similar to MF, ex: http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/item/atmas-impaler-36) and that obviously wouldn't be a good combination.
Let me guys know if there are any other abilities you'd like me to add :)
Edit: Oh, and as for the "[[Kaldr]]" = Kaldr, The Winter Wolf idea, that's a bit more complicated and requires (way more) dev assistance. I'm open to suggestions on other aliases you'd like to see, but can't promise you'll see those in action any time soon.
I like it. Sure it has its problems with Ullr's page for example, but I feel people will get the idea; not everyone on SF is brain dead you know.
Also R.I.P Kaldr; no tears, only dreams now.
