To permit flexibility in a changing game, the template is designed to sort via numbers while showing icons. These numbers seem to be "huge" numbers...do they signify damage or resistance values in-game? Nay! They are a system of placeholder values so that new values (which could show up with a game update, and have before many times) can be added without disrupting an entire numerically sorted column. This also saves a small amount of space in the templates that use them.

For the number placeholder "##.####" each column in the table below corresponds to a digit in this "big number," left to right:

ability good or bad ability type . Ability Subtype B Ability Subtype A Intensity
1 = a buff, increase, etc. 1 = Uniform . 1 = Damage ? 0 = Maximum!
9 = a debuff, decrease, etc. 2 = Item Bonus . 2 = Charge Time ? 1 = Ultra
  3 = Monster Bonus . 3 = Attack Speed ? 2 = Very High
  4 = Penalty . 4 = Movement Speed ? 3 = High
    .   ? 4 = Medium
    .   ? 5 = Low

These interrelated columns might seem redundant when it comes to certain placeholder values, but in a world where templates are dynamic, we want to keep the possibility of merging columns and templates together as time goes on. This number sorting system permits some flexibility for these changes - meaning that the data entries can stay the same while editors change the display.

Yeah we don't really see Ultra. If we ever do, it has a placeholder - so things can be updated easily. You see? Oh well in case you don't, here's a few examples in action:
