Follow the link for information on coding and contents for each element.

Header

Use the following template:

{{skill
    |skillid=N/A
    |type=Buff
    |mpcost=19
    |description=Your deoxygenated blood has been replaced with lime juice.

You're way more alert than usually.
    |source=Lime Trainer
    |price=83 Meat
    |class=[[lime|Limeface]]
    |level=42
    |effect=[[Combat Initiative]] +100%
    |usemsg=You conjure a lime around yourself...
    {{acquireEffect|effect=Limetastic!|duration=10}}}}

• SkillID: The in-game ID of the skill
• Type: Buff? Passive? Combat?
• MPCost: How many MP the skill uses (if applicable).
• Description: The official description of the skill, as found in the Kingdom.
• Source: Guild trainer? Gnomes? Starting skill?
• Price: How much the skill costs to learn (if applicable).
• Class: Character class (if applicable).
• Level: Level at which skill can be acquired (if applicable).
• Effect: The actual effect, in terms of game mechanics, the player experiences. For consistency, effects listed in this section should be written in the form that item enchantments are written in-game. Those listed should also link an appropriate Game Mechanics page. For example:
  • Muscle +100 (links to Muscle Modifiers)
  • +10% Meat from Monsters (links to Meat from Monsters)
  • 2x Chance of Critical Hit (links to Critical Hit Chance)
  • Spell Damage +10 (links to Bonus Spell Damage)
• UseMsg: The skill's "Use Skill" message (if applicable)
• The name and image for the skill are stored on the skill's metadata page, linked from the upper-right corner of the page.

The above example yields:

undefined skill name Type: Buff MP Cost: 19 Your deoxygenated blood has been replaced with lime juice. Combat Initiative +100%

Category

Any page that uses the {{skill}} template correctly will automatically be placed in Category:Skills or one of its subcategories. If the template is not given the type parameter, the page will be placed in Category:Incomplete. For other pages, add the following to the end of the page on its own line:

[[Category:Skills| {{PAGENAME}}]]
