Auto-categorization of skills without concise descriptions

 * should still be displayed when not specified, to better help users notice it instead of relaying on categorization. The "return to" link seem redundant to me, since the skill box's name field already provides the link. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 21:28, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Touch Skills
The concise descriptions are noting touch range in the skill type, and not in the description. Maybe we should add a "touch = yes" parameter that would change for instance "Elite Skill" to "Elite Touch Skill"? &mdash; Poki#3, 13:14, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
