The Oct 6 update added Baba, and with it a generic ability, ability_baba_bench_melee (part of the Granny Long Legs ability), that localizes to just "Melee". The changelog formatter treats every active ability name as an icon target, so the ordinary word "Melee", and phrases like "Heavy Melee", "Melee Resist" and "Melee Lifesteal", started rendering as {{AbilityIcon|Melee}}. Hero lines mentioning it were also promoted into a Melee sub-section. Because changelogs are reformatted from their stored raw text on every run, this retroactively rewrote several historical changelog files.

Generic game-mechanic ability names are now excluded from the ability icon/link terms, leaving "Melee" as plain text. This also restores items such as {{ItemIcon|Melee Lifesteal}}, which were being overridden because abilities are matched before items.
