I would really like to convert all the skills so they are similar to how Items work. Since this page isn't being used any more I plan to use it and sub pages for testing. Of course with a message telling people not to use it for now.

Anyone think this is a good/bad idea? -AnnanFay (talk) 19:36, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

In what way do you mean exactly? Other than on skill pages, what other pages do you think will need skills transcluded to? I've nothing against you doing it, just curious. Iamacyborg (talk) 20:15, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
Likewise I'm not against it, I just don't know what you had in mind specifically. —Vinifera7 (talk) 20:27, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
Well, a few hours ago I was looking for a table/spreadsheet which listed all the support gems and their different stats. The skills page has a table but doesn't contain much data to avoid clutter. Now I was thinking, we also have the skill-link template which contains skill data and needs constant updating. The table on the skills page, the Sl Template and a new reference table could be more easily added/maintained if skill data able to be transcluded. -AnnanFay (talk) 00:30, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
That makes sense. Iamacyborg (talk) 07:51, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
I also think we need your expertise on getting this stuff going for quest rewards! Iamacyborg (talk) 20:49, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
Hmm? -AnnanFay (talk) 00:30, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
I think he means doing something similar to the item template for quests. For example, the data for the rewards of a quest would be stored on that quest's page, then transcluded as needed on other pages such as the quest rewards page. —Vinifera7 (talk) 00:38, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
Ahhh! Yeah, that would be very useful. Much easier to track which was updated when and keep pages in sync. -AnnanFay (talk) 00:41, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
Yep. I'm going to take a good look at how you've done it with items and see if I can work it out for myself. Iamacyborg (talk) 07:51, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
If you wanted to do it I may have jumped the gun :P You can see something preliminary at Template:Quest/testcases/Enemy at the Gate. I had an idea on how to fix the rewards bit but won't be able to add it till later today or tomorrow. -AnnanFay (talk) 09:13, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
