== Documentation ==
 
:This template generates a tooltip (displayed when moving the mouse over the text) explaining what a [[Skill_training#Training_Time_Multipliers|skill training time multiplier]] is, and giving a rough indication of how long a skill takes to train.
 
=== Syntax ===
 
<pre><nowiki>{{SkillTimeInfo| multiplier | level }}</nowiki></pre>
 
;multiplier
:Enter the skill training time multiplier here, and add a lower-case "x" to the end, like <code>1x</code> or <code>5x</code>. If this argument is not specified, the template will display a 1x multiplier, but generate a (hopefully helpful) error message in the tooltip. 
 
;level
:Enter the desired level. If this argument is not specified, the template will display times for levels I, III, and V.
 
=== Examples ===
 
:<code><nowiki>{{SkillTimeInfo|3x|III}}</nowiki></code> gives {{SkillTimeInfo|3x|III}}.
:<code><nowiki>{{SkillTimeInfo|3x}}</nowiki></code> gives {{SkillTimeInfo|3x}}.
:<code><nowiki>{{SkillTimeInfo}}</nowiki></code> gives {{SkillTimeInfo}}.
:<code><nowiki>{{SkillTimeInfo|{{GetSkillMult|Caldari Battleship}}}}</nowiki></code> gives {{SkillTimeInfo| {{GetSkillMult | Caldari Battleship }} }}.
:<code><nowiki>{{SkillTimeInfo|{{GetSkillMult|Caldari Battleship}}|III}}</nowiki></code> gives {{SkillTimeInfo| {{GetSkillMult | Caldari Battleship }} | III }}.

:{{t|SkillPriceInfo}}, a similar template dealing with skill book prices.
:{{t|GetSkillMult}}, a template which automatically looks up a skills's training time multiplier. You can use it to feed this template (as in the third example above), or just use the {{t|Sk}} template, which does it for you.
 
=== Implementation notes ===
:The times shown in the tooltip were calculated for 1800 skill points per hour (= all attributes at 20), which is a good approximation, as basic characters have all their attributes at 20 except Charisma (which is at 19). In any case, the tooltip is meant to only give a rough approximation, as for most characters, their training time will be modified by implants or neural remaps.
:Additionally, the template was constructed from plain text, instead of using a mathematical formula to arrive at the approximate training times. While this makes the template code longer, it's arguably more readable, and allows for rounding numbers for the sake of clarity.
