:"Status effect" is far too broad; it would have to cover not only the "soaked" effects, but afterburn, critboost, whip speed, healing aura, uber-state, and a bunch of other stuff that already has either its own page or section on a page.

:I'm sorta new at this, but under the current definition "Covering is an effect that can be applied by certain weapons", one could argue that Bleeding, Burning/Afterburn, the marked for death sign, or even the healing particles from overheal could be considered 'covering' as all of them are considered an 'applied effect', personally, Soaked works, but Drenched might be a better way of defining what happens to you. To be honest, six of one half a dozen of another. "One becomes drenched with Jarate." "One becomes soaked with Jarate." "Upon touching water, one becomes soaked, one becomes drenched upon touching water." But I do agree, the article name needs to be changed. *first edit, if you can call a comment an edit, not sure if I'm doing this right, Sorry to mods if I'm not!* [[User:Noble VI|Noble VI]] ([[User talk:Noble VI|talk]]) 15:30, 25 April 2014 (PDT)

Article name

This is an awkward name, should be moved. Any ideas on a better name? User Moussekateer signature sprite.pngMoussekateer·talk 03:36, 7 June 2013 (PDT)

How about "Wet" or "Liquid"? kreafan (talk) 03:42, 7 June 2013 (PDT)

I suggest the name "soaked". Toomai Glittershine 21:16, 17 August 2013 (PDT)

"Liquid Effects"? "Status Effects" and expand to include mark for death? Darkid (Talk|Contribs) 09:00, 21 August 2013 (PDT)
Agree on Status effect, so I can remove the Water coating image and make this page no stub anymore. User Hinaomi Hinaomi-sig.png Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 09:31, 21 August 2013 (PDT)
"Water-coated" is a status with an effect vs the neon anihilator. Darkid (Talk|Contribs) 09:51, 21 August 2013 (PDT)
Anyway, if change to Status Effect, this article will easier to edit. User Hinaomi Hinaomi-sig.png Rikka Takanashi (talk) • (contributions) 09:57, 21 August 2013 (PDT)
