Template:Skill/Documentation

As well as automatically categorizing an article into Category:Skills, this template supplies some standard information about the subject of the article. For details on how to create a skill article, refers to the Creators Manual and the Guideline: Skill Articles.

Parameters

|image=filename

Optional but preferred — The full image file name.

If an image is not supplied, a placeholder will be used, and by default the template will place the {{picture}} hatnote before the infobox. Disable this if necessary with |ignore-no-image=yes (see below).

|caption=Image description

Optional — Use only if |image= is also set. Text of a descriptive caption to display beneath the image.

|type=Combat,Trade,Transport

Required — What kind of skill it is (default: Unknown).

(Note: Setting |type= or |category= will auto-categorize the article into the appropriate skill sub-category.)

|description=

Optional — Brief description of the skill.

|ignore-no-image=yes

Optional — Set to yes (or any similar positive-state value) to disable the automatic placement of {{Picture}} above the infobox.

|top=no

Optional — Set to no to disable the automatic placement of the {{Top}} template on the article.
