Development notes

This template is, essentially, a lookup function for all the skills currently in the game. When CCP changes the skill names or groups, or adds/removes skills in a future expansion, update this template (as well as {{GetSkillLink}}, {{GetSkillMult}} and {{GetSkillPrice}}). If skills are merely moved from one group to another, all the links (generated with, for instance, {{Sk}}) on the wiki will be automatically updated. If skill names change, then any pages with obsolete skill names will be listed in Category:Obsolete Skills, so that you can easily find and correct them.
