Project: Skills and traits

Introduction

With this project I want to improve skills and traits pages with new properties and templates and minor changes to existing templates.

• Add new properties to skills and traits to use for automatic creation of related skills/traits lists (with uniform design, see these three pages for example: Phantasmal Berserker, Explosive Rockets and Spear of Justice).
• Add new template to use new properties.
• Minor changes to existing templates for setting new properties (and a bit of QoL for wiki contributors).

The goal of this project is to reduce the number of pages to update after a balance update arrives.

New templates

{{related}}

This template creates a list of related skills/traits for the given page by checking what spell type/weapon type/boons or conditions the skill or trait applies.

{{related/boon}}

This template creates a list of all skills and traits for the given page (e.g. Aegis) that apply or improve the given boon.

{{related/condition}}

This template creates a list of all skills and traits for the given page (e.g. Burning) that apply or improve the given condition.
