Project: Skills and traits[edit]
Introduction[edit]
With this project I want to improve skills and traits pages with new properties and templates and minor changes to existing templates.
- Add new properties to skills and traits to use for automatic creation of related skills/traits lists (with uniform design, see these three pages for example: Phantasmal Berserker, Explosive Rockets and Spear of Justice).
- Add new template to use new properties.
- Minor changes to existing templates for setting new properties (and a bit of QoL for wiki contributors).
The goal of this project is to reduce the number of pages to update after a balance update arrives.
New templates[edit]
- {{related}}
- This template creates a list of related skills/traits for the given page by checking what spell type/weapon type/boons or conditions the skill or trait applies.
- {{related/boon}}
- This template creates a list of all skills and traits for the given page (e.g. Aegis) that apply or improve the given boon.
- {{related/condition}}
- This template creates a list of all skills and traits for the given page (e.g. Burning) that apply or improve the given condition.
New properties[edit]
- Applies boon
- Applies condition
- Improves boon
- Improves condition
- Set by {{Skill fact}}.
- Improves skill
- Improves trait

Changes to existing templates[edit]
- {{Skill infobox}}
- {{Trait infobox}}
- Add parameters to automatically set Improves trait/skill/spell type/weapon type and Has trait line number.
