A few things I've noted:
 * While telepathy can be used as umbrella term, that usage is more often phrased and "telepathic abilities".
 * General usage is the telepathy is a form of mind reading and/or communication. After that, well, we've got individual power categories.
 * "Mind Wipe", as a singular power, is one we don't have. And it really isn't equitable with communication. The telepathy page could use a clarification along the lines of "Telepathy can range for simple mind to mind communication to mental manipulations of the thoughts and memories of the target. Up to and including their erasure."
 * The stand alone categories - mind control, illusion casting, empathy, animal control, animal empathy, mental blasts, fear projection, and psychic link - can be a variation of telepathy. Can be, not automatically are.
 * This is also why your edits to "Mind Control" and "Illusion Casting" were reverted. In both cases there are fairly notable examples where telepathy has nothing to do with a character exhibiting these powers. With the first power is pheromones and magic. Neither require mind to mind communication for the effect to occur. The second can be generated though optics and again magic with out having to have mental communication.
 * Telekenisis is not telepathy. Psychic or psionic ability maybe depending on the context and character background, but not telepathy.
