I've seen a lot of articles pointing to the Earth-616 article for the characters powers, abilities and equipment. To me, that seems like laziness. It isn't detailed or informative. It just redirects to the 616 character that the reader may not be interested in at the moment. And it doesn't autocategorize the powers. We have templates that are links to the powers that autocategorize them. And the character may not have all the powers his/her mainstream counterpart has. Katherine Pryde (Earth-8096) can't air walk like Katherine Pryde (Earth-616). And with game characters, we can tweak the powerset based on the gameplay. We don't need to point to Earth-616 for a powerset. Just list the confirmed powers from that universe! A copy and paste from Earth-616 would be a good start, but a link, not so much.
