Template talk:Skill link

Since at least some of the templates seem to get more frequent updates, and a previously working feature seems to be "lost": is it possible to make the templates work global again? Its not really practicable to have to copy every change over to another language... --Mr.Cee (talk) 14:28, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

Example Which doesn't work

I want to write "Lesser/Greater Multiple Projectiles" where "Lesser" links to LMP and "Greater Multiple Projectiles" links to GMP.

OR

I want to link to Multiple Projectiles but show it as if it were a green skill gem. (when it's really a group of two)

 test 3. 

I find the gem icon handy to indicate the link is about a skill, which is valid in both these cases. Though I'm not sure which is better, since an may be added in the future making all references in the first style need updating. Maybe this is unlikely. I certainly like linking to both rather than a page which only displays two links.

I've added Lesser/Greater/Multiple Projectiles so that they should now all show the correct coloured icons. However the template still needs to be updated to be up to date with current gem icons. Iamacyborg (talk) 21:07, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Don't you think the icons are too low res to use each individual gem icon? Besides, you have the text next to the icon that shows what gem it is. —Vinifera7 (talk) 23:24, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

I haven't actually tried resizing them yet, but that's a valid concern. Iamacyborg (talk) 09:00, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
