User talk:Poki/Skill box

Usage
This is essentially a copy of Template:Skill box for use in any GuildWiki Humor skills. Since users use there namespace, and custom skill icons, campaigns, professions and attributes the standard one cannot be used.

For an example see one of the skills that uses this template like Scourge Touch.
 * name: The name displayed in the header.
 * icon: The icon. If not used, name will be used instead. Automatically adds the .jpg extension.
 * campaign: The campaign. Requires square brackets to be a link, but allows for an easy link to a custom campaign.
 * profession_icon: The profession icon that's displayed. Automatically adds the -icon.png extension. Can be omitted if you use a custom profession and didn't make an icon for it.
 * profession: The name of the profession. Requires square brackets to be a link, but allows for an easy link to a custom profession.
 * profession2: The name that will be displayed when hovering the mouse over the image specified in "profession_icon". Can be omitted if you're not using an icon, but shouldn't be if you are.
 * attribute: The attribute. Requires square brackets to be a link, but allows for an easy link to a custom attribute.
 * elite: Is the skill an Elite skill or not. Use "yes", "no" or don't place this at all (will work at a "no").
 * type: Specifies the type of the skill, for instance Enchantment Spell or Shout. Automatically links. Doesn't allow custom skill types. Do not write the elite status here.
 * exhaustion: Adds the gray exhaustion icon. Use "yes", "no" or don't place this at all (will work at a "no"). Doesn't work well if used together with sacrifice (you can't see the amount of health sacrificed). Doesn't work with Assassin chain requirements at all (will overwrite them).
 * req: Indicates what type of Assassin attack chain is required on the enemy. Valid entries are "lead", "offhand" or "dual" (or nothing at all). Note, that this represents the requirement, and not the skill type. (a normal dual attack should have "offhand", here, because it requires an off-hand attack). Doesn't work well if used together with sacrifice (you can't see the amount of health sacrificed). Doesn't work with Exhaustion at all (Exhaustion will overwrite this). Can be omitted.
 * sacrifice: The health sacrifice caused by the skill, presented in %. Doesn't work well if used together with Exhaustion or Assassin chain requirements (you can't see the amount of health sacrificed). Can be omitted.
 * energy: Energy cost of the skill. Can be omitted.
 * activation: Activation time of the skill. For 1/2 and 3/4 cast times use 1⁄2 or 3⁄4 . Can be omitted.
 * recharge: Recharge time or the skill. Can be omitted.
 * description: The skill description. Write anything you want :P
 * progression_X_effect, progression_X_0, progression_X_15: Part of the attribute table.

You are free to use and edit this template, as long as you don't break anything. I'm sure there are some things that need fixing, since I suck at GWcode :( &mdash; Poki#3, 17:51, 6 January 2007 (CST)
 * skill_icon is redundant. The real template uses icon if it's provided, if not then the skill's name.  This uses icon if provided, if not then skill_icon.  --Fyren 16:36, 23 January 2007 (CST)
 * Upon closer look... your right. Shows how much I suck at wiki code reading :( Maybe I'll change that sometime, but it's not something overly important &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 16:45, 23 January 2007 (CST)
 * Removed the skill_icon. Fixed auto categorizing. Still need to find a way to make the background white to avoid gray lines :/ &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 13:13, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I hope you don't mind I'm copying the skill template and adding it to my own userpage. I'm ridiculously creative and this would come in handy for the swathes of imaginary skills I come up with, however I don't want them all to go to humor and I can't for the life of me figure out how to use the rest of the templates. Anyway if you object then, I'll try and build my own or something. Rubikon 14:37, 23 January 2007 (CST)
 * Sure, go ahead. This thing is free for use by anyone :P &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 16:31, 23 January 2007 (CST)

Categorizing
I'd like to let users of this box to know that it'd be great if you could use instead of just. That way it gets categorized as the skills name rather than the user's name. Zulu Inuoe 02:10, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't know why you did all of this. I'd rather have everything under my Username :/. And as far as the template goes, you can replace the with  instead of adding a category to every skill, no? &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 19:43, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
