I had some thoughts about updating the skill template. I would like some input before I do so. DanielEfton (talk) 15:17, October 19, 2012 (UTC)
I would like to add some more functionality to searching for skills.
- A {{{dmgstat}}} parameter that would not show (should it?) on the page but if used would add an additional category. Something like Category: dmgstat Based or Category:Skills/dmgstat based. This category would be added as a subcategory of the Skills page so you could see all familiars with, let's say, Agility based skills. the dmgstat parameter would use the abbreviated, all caps version of the name. ex: Category:AGI Based or Category:Skills/AGI Based
- An {{{affliction}}} parameter with a {{{afflictedstat}}} parameter. These parameters would be visible and would add a category. a Category:Afflictions page would be added detailing the afflictions from In-Game Help, with each affliction having a subpage. If a skill adds an affliction (like poison, bind, any buff, or any debuff), the page would say so, and a category would get added. Something like Category:Afflictions/Paralyze. The afflictedstat parameter would allow you to define the sat effected by buffs or bebuffs and would add Category:Afflictions/Buff/AGI (Grace of Winds would do this).
Questions, Comments, Snide remarks? DanielEfton (talk) 15:17, October 19, 2012 (UTC)
I think Ability Source would be a good choice. There are other skills such as healing that is determined by non-ATK stats. This way you could incorporate them better.OKRedleg (talk) 17:03, October 19, 2012 (UTC)
This has been implemented. Please visit Template:Skill to learn more about the new parameters in place and how to use them. If you have any questions, or encounter anything weird in the course of using the new parameters, please let me know! DanielEfton (talk) 17:47, October 25, 2012 (UTC)
