Templates
I'm still working on them, but eventually they will be used for my idea to bring a consistent look to the collector, crafted, and green item pages. I will post more on that when I get the templates to work.

? That doesn't really do anything, and whats the link for? Also, not all HSR or HCT's are 20%

Weapons List Pages
Currently, the collector, crafted, and "green" item pages have very different formats from one profession to the next. I would like to see them be cleaned up to a consistent format. As a step to this direction, I have developed a few templates that could be used for that. The following table is an excerpt from the Necromancer Nightfall collector weapons table. It uses the HSR, HCT, Acquisition, and Casterweapon (which contains Acquisition) templates. The first row uses the Casterweapon template, the others do not.

The templates are used as follows


 * HCT and HSR : default skill type is blank and default percentage is 20%
 * ex should yield HCT Fire Magic (10%).  I am having trouble getting this template to work so that it allows both parameters to be optional
 * should yield HCT (20%)
 * Acquisition : both parameters required
 * Casterweapon: all parameters required
 * This template will need an additional parameter for background color, but I am having little success with checking for optional parameters

 * You can't have two (or more) optional, unnamed parameters. If the user only gives one unnamed parameter, you won't be able to tell which is which.  If you want them to both be optional, you'll have to make it so at most one is unnamed.  --Fyren 22:29, 16 December 2006 (CST)
