"progression_pvp_0_effect". Argh! PLEASE consider using pvp_progression_0_effect. That will make it possible to use your Sandbox as the display template for my skill stat extraction templates. You'll have succeeded when displays correctly. I'm putting that at the bottom of this page, feel free to delete that there. That said, my templates don't always work correctly, they may not have all attributes yet (especially for the progressions) and they have defined (but empty) attributes that should be undefined. I'm working on it, I'm going to tell you when I think that's fixed.

Additionally, you can't use to display based on whether the attribute (pvp_description etc.) is present because it will be there even if it is the same as the non-PvP attribute; test for equality instead. What I can do to help is to test for equality of the stat row stuff (energy etc.) and give you an attribute that records the outcome, maybe pvp_stats_differ=yes if they do and undefined if they don't (or some such). Do you want that? mendel 08:36, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I changed it to pvp_progression_0_effect and stuff like you suggested, it's probably better that way anyways. It still doesn't work here tho. But anyway, I put in the input  to determine whether or not there are differing stats. If the stats are different in any way, the person is supposed to put some value in for  . If there are no differing ones for pvp, you don't input anything and then it will junk the second line --Gimmethegepgun 18:53, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'll see how it works. I am thinking that the skill data will stay separate (the way it is now) but that we can make some pages where they will show together, but we'll see how that turns out. I'm going to get to work tonight refining my stuff. Let's see what it looks liek in a few hours. mendel 21:59, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, finally finished this massive revision, all in the name of prettiness :/ Baffles my mind why I was forced to set the display style equal to null to make it work right because block didn't work... gonna go lie down and/or play my PS2 now, my head hurts >.< --Gimmethegepgun 22:27, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

It turns out the pvp_stats_differ idea won't fly, for technical reasons, sorry. What you can probably (haven't tested that yet) do is to use this:

I'm seeing the progression data now, I will make the the empty progression rows go away, and everything else that doesn't work is likely because your pvp attributes are not yet using the prefix (e.g. req_pvp doesn't work, pvp_req does, and since it's concise_description, it needs to be pvp_concise_description). mendel 09:30, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
