Damage type
Hyperflux added a damage type parameter to the template. I don't think that is a good idea, because damage is not a general property of all skills. Some skills don't even cause any damage at all. On a side note, he didn't specify a parameter for it., so it won't work in the template anyway. I guess Hyperflux isn't familiar with how templates work in MediaWiki. No problem, we were all new to it at one point. I'll remove the line for now. If anybody thinks that it should really be in the template, speak up here and we can discuss and put it back in. --Tetris L 03:30, 27 June 2007 (EDT)


 * Rather than damage type, a more general type might be useful. E.g. groups like crafting, support, attack. - Dashiva 10:17, 6 August 2007 (EDT)
 * I like that-- CV 17:26, 6 August 2007 (EDT)
 * There is a type attribute which atm is used to distinguish between an skill or ability, but i thinks thats not needed we should use the type attribute as an indicator if the ability is a heal, buff, attack, crafting or another type like a debuff. We should think about what types there are for skills and try to stick with them. Theres also a category attribute in the template, but i dont really know what the point for this is. --Ensis 07:55, 6 September 2007 (EDT)

Logos pics
If I add more than one logos using Logos2 argument, the image isn't displayed. See Shrapnel for an example. Could someone that knows templates better than I do, fix this please? Thanks. - Snorii 12:43, 26 August 2007 (EDT)

Skills, abilities, trainings
We have a big of a terminology problem here. Trainings (aka skills) do not use logos, so that field looks odd (or even misleading) here. On the other hand, abilities aren't skills. Abilities also have other attributes, like cost, duration, etc that wouldn't fit trainings. I think we need to split this into two templates. - Dashiva 20:44, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Range
The skill template really needs a range parameter. Range is important factor for many skills, yet this information is completely missing from most skill articles! - 193.211.5.90 09:37, 14 December 2007 (UTC)


 * The skill template is being replaced soonish (Ability and Training), so we could add it then. Do you imagine it will do with just a number, or is free text needed? - Dashiva 10:43, 14 December 2007 (UTC)


 * A number should be fine with the current TR skillset. If future abilities need more specific information, it can be mentioned in the article. - 193.211.5.90 10:53, 14 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Sprint and Lightning are the current test articles for the new template. How does it look? - Dashiva 11:08, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
