There are two different types of qr's (quick references) for examples see Enchantment removal quick reference for a complex qr and Resurrection skills quick reference for a simple qr.

Simple Quick Reference
Simple quick references use the current qr template system to give a list of one single characteristic. A characteristic can be for example, skills that resurrect, skills that can copy other skills and skills that need adrenaline.

Header
The first wikitext that should be placed is to more the category list onto the right side of the screen. Next the article should have the icons and description of what each icon represents, followed by

. You will only need to put icon references in the article for the ones that appear in it.

Example: - This skill may be earned from a quest. See skill information for details. - Energy requirement - Activation Time - Recharge Time - Maintenance cost

List of skills
Skill lists should appear in the order of Warrior, Ranger, Monk, Necromancer, Mesmer, Assassin, Ritualist, Paragon and last Dervish. Skills are then ordered by attribute alphabetically and then then listed by skills alphabetically.

Example:

Footer
Place the article into the category by adding at the end of the document.

Examples

 * See [ Shout skills quick reference code]
 * See [ Melee attack skills quick reference code]

Complex Quick Reference
Complex quick references take a little more time to set up and are are a bit more complicated, it is recommended you know how to use some wiki code. The complex quick reference system uses a custom template rather then the current qr template that was used in the simple qr system.

Setting up the customized template
Open [ Template:Skill box knockdown code], copy the context of that textbox, this is your template base that you will be editing to make your customized template. Next we need a location to save your template, navigate to:-
 * http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki?title=Template:Skill box (INSERT TEMPLATE NAME HERE) &action=edit

Paste the code you copied earlier into the textbox.

Next we need to edit the lines
 * class="data" |
 * class="data" |
