Summary: Clarify .MOD for ABILITY

Initial Comment:
As a .MOD for abilities looks different than for all other objects, the current entry under the .MOD tag doesn't seem to be intuitive enough. I think it would be better to break out the whole issue a bit more.

The different syntax should already additionally be listed under TAG NAME. Perhaps put there:
Tag Name: <name>.MOD            (Standard syntax)
CATEGORY=<category>|<name>.MOD  (Abilities syntax)

Probably "Variables Used" should be worked over accordingly then.


Under "EXAMPLES" is this example:

CATEGORY=|.MOD
The new syntax to be used to .MOD an ability.

It needs to be changed to hold an actual example. You can use:
CATEGORY=Mutation|Weak Immune System.MOD
Modifies an ability of the category Mutation, which is called Weak Immune System. Another ability of the same name, which belongs to another category, would not be affected.

Additionally the different syntax for .MOD should be explicitely pointed out on the ABILITY TAGS page.
