Skill history guidelines This project seeks to provide full update histories of all appropriate skills, listing and dating the initial function and any changes or rebalances that have taken place since.

Please use the following format when creating or editing skill history pages. Updates should be listed in descending order, starting from the current version of the skill to the original version. Delete any fields that are irrelevant to a particular skill to avoid clutter. This includes concise descriptions prior to March 13, 2008. For the purpose of linking internally, every change is considered as a new article. Changes to phrasing of skill descriptions are also considered skill changes. {{Skill history}} or {{Skill history|(skill name)|PvE = y (if the skill is listed as (PvE) and thus has a separate PvP version)}} or {{Skill history|(skill name)|PvP = y (if the skill is listed as (PvP)}} ==[[Game updates/yyyymmdd|<month> <day>, <year>]]== *[verbatim text of official ArenaNet game updates, modified only for grammar] (example) *Skill split into separate PvE and PvP versions.
