+== Proposal - two tier implementation ==
+Assume there are three dimensions you want to display:
+* skills - finite and repeating
+* location - finite and repeating
+* capsuleer who provides the service - there are an infinite number of unique identifiers
+Goals:
+* maximize searchability of skills
+*
+For the first tier [https://www.tablesgenerator.com/mediawiki_tables create a table where rows are skills, columns are locations and cells are links to a nested page named after a capsuleer]:
+{| class="wikitable"
+|-
+! Skills<br />
+! NullSec
+! HighSec
+! LowSec
+! WormSec
+|-
+| Noxitum Processing
+| Anidien, Devalt
+| Anidien
+|
+| Arin
+|-
+| Trilium Processing
+| Devalt
+|
+| Arin
+| Arin, Devalt, Evon
+|-
+| Puffium Processing
+|
+| Anidien
+|
+|
+|}
+Alt, payment, contract, implant and other information is hidden behind a link to a nested page named after a capsuleer.
+The second tier, the nested pages must have a consistent naming scheme and a template that captures all information, including skills, location and the capsuleer who provides the service. The [[User:Devalt_Yotosala/Sandbox1/Template:Infobox_refiner]] is a way to capture the information.
+The second tier, nested pages, can be show using an automated and dynamic template {{t|list subpages}} next to the first tier, table.
+Implementation trade-offs and decisions:
+* how do you handle sub-perfect refiners and IV skills - Double the amount of rows? State skill level next to capsuleer name in table cell? Create a second table?
+* how large is the table cell going to get and how do you collapse it - Use tooltip? HTML <nowiki><div></nowiki> collapsible?
+If you want to proceed with the nested page implementation, I'll make a statement that would allow you to implement it since I strictly forbid creating nested pages. [[User:Arin Mara|Arin Mara]] ([[User talk:Arin Mara|talk]]) 09:10, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
