Template talk:Skill table

Sort order attributes

I would like to suggest changing the sorting order of not-existing attributes. Currently a non-displayable "a" is used for sorting order, but I want to suggest to use "Z". This would sort the table on attributes similarly as it would ingame. See here for the tiny modification to {{Skill table}} and here for the implementation of it. --  (CoRrRan / talk) 11:20, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Except that sunspear and allegiance rank should be at the bottom, it's like in game, which is good. I support this change :) - anja 11:24, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

I added this change (along with various other modifications). --Rezyk 00:05, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Energy

What would be the best way to get rid of this? It's for List of signets. Backsword 11:24, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I think you've already found it. It should be something like this:

{{Skill table
| category = Signets
| cost header = }}

(I.e. pass an empty value to "cost header".) --  (CoRrRan / talk) 12:45, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I just don't like the extra spacing. Backsword 12:47, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I see what you mean. At the moment, the {{Skill table}} creates an empty cell if there isn't an 'extra cost header' or if 'cost header=' (or any of the other 'default' column headers) is set. The way around it, is to make the if-statement NOT create the extra cell/column. But I'm not 100% sure this is possible, I'll have a look. --  (CoRrRan / talk) 15:42, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Default sorting order

Would it be possible for this template to allow a default sorting priority instead of always sorting by skill name? -- Gordon Ecker 07:28, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

The template doesn't sort at all, that order just happens becuase is uses categories and skills appear in that order there. The sorting is done by the sortable class for tables. Backsword 07:39, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Too bad, being able to set a default sort order would be useful for the elite skill lists, the profession-specific lists are currently split up into separate tables for each attribute. -- Gordon Ecker 06:09, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Note that this is now possible, with the current version of DPL. Would people want this implemented? Backsword 15:00, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Template:User skill table

Is there any way to use this skill table with skills in the user space? Perhaps for those post balance issues or those creative enough to make user skills? --People of Antioch 23:38, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Concise

Time to switch to concise descriptions as default? There were general support of this among users when they were introduced, but at that time most hadn't been implemented, which is no longer the case. Backsword 15:01, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

For the records, I liked the longer descriptions more ;_; Erasculio 16:24, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

I agree the concise descriptions s*ck. Should be the longer ones by default. --SilentStorm 10:23, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

I also would prefer the complete descriptions to be kept as the default. -- Wyn talk 10:30, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

notitlematch Parameter

The notitlematch parameter doesn't seem to be working correctly. Currently it causes the results to come back empty, and throws a %DPL-1.7.4-WARNING: No results! error. I looked up the functionality in the DPL manual, and I believe that the correct parameter should be nottitlematch. When I tried to use nottitlematch instead, the results just seem to ignore the nottitlematch parameter. Is this functionality really supported, or does this page need to be revised to remove it as a parameter? Darien Jarkeld 16:45, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Looking a little deeper, I found this line of code in the template

| {{ #if: {{{notitlematch|}}} | nottitlematch = {{{titlematch}}} }}

It seems like {{{titlematch}}} should be replaced with {{{notitlematch}}}. I am going to go ahead a make the change, provided it doesn't break anything. Darien Jarkeld 17:23, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Unnatural Signet

This is listed 3x: twice for the current pvp/pve version and once for the old version. I can't parse the code to figure out the source of the error. Can someone fix it? (Or point out where to go to fix it?) Either way, perhaps that same person could add some instructions for where to go to adjust the contents, since I am sure we will see other instances of drastic skill changes/splits/unsplits that require this type of fix. Thanks!  — Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 01:07, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Just purge that page's content (click the UTC clock at the top). poke | talk 13:16, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Dervish Mysticism Table messed up

Not sure what to do, probably add a cleanup tag? Looks like the Avatar of xxx skills that have re-merged after being split for PvE/PvP are causing the Mysticism section to break - is this one for the Skill Table template to be fixed? ClassicKiriyama 03:50, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

It was caused by a user who recently added skill infoboxes to skill history pages without the categorize = n parameter. Should be all fixed now. --Silver Edge 05:46, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Campaign(s)

This template is able to show the parameter campaign from the skill infobox, if required. However, current version of Template:Skill infobox has the internal parameter campaign2 which is not documented yet on the template page (it's another story). Option to mention two campaigns is useful for Beyond content where every expansion is counted as a separate campaign. Example: set of Miku skills. The problem is, this template ignores the existence of campaign2 parameter and shows only the first campaign. This is definitely not good, but right now I don't have a clear understanding what to do. The obvious decision to add this parameter to the table may increase too much the row height with two long names inside a single cell, could it be good from the aesthetic point? Alternatively, the name of second campaign may be replaced with a single word like (more...) with correct link. There could be other solutions, please tell what you think. --Slavic 06:06, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Can we use this skill table on the skill category pages?

The skill category pages aren't very useful, since they only list all the skills under that category - it's nearly impossible to filter through that to find various bits of information. It would be useful to have the table of skills that fall under a category on that category's page, rather than just a bulleted list of data. Shifuimam 04:36, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

The skill category pages don't have the skill tables because generally there is a page linked (under *) that does have the skill table for that category. Have you found one that doesn't? --JonTheMon 06:03, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

Nope, I'm apparently just blind. Whoops - thanks for the tip!! Shifuimam 16:05, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
