I think keeping imperfect skills off the page, rather than doubling a table, would be the way to go. When hidden in a collapsed template there was more sense to including them. If the result is a big table, just keep the IV's off the page. | : I think keeping imperfect skills off the page, rather than doubling a table, would be the way to go.

: I don't suppose there's a way to create a filter drop down for Wiki use? --[[User:Anidien Dallacort|Anidien Dallacort]] ([[User talk:Anidien Dallacort|talk]]) 15:14, 29 July 2022 (UTC) | |||
I | : I'm concerned the table will have too much cognitive load for the end user. Instead of looking to see if a given refiner can match the needs of a user, the user must now keep track of the names in each category and cross reference those names against their needs to get a unified list of potential characters. --[[User:Devalt Yotosala|Devalt Yotosala]] ([[User talk:Devalt Yotosala|talk]]) 23:04, 29 July 2022 (UTC) | ||
: | :: Is it possible to break the original template into multiple rows - "Asteroid Ores", "Moon Ores", "Other" - then just type freeform into those boxes, which are at level V? There's only what, five types in any one category? We could use just simple text and only the single descriptive word, rather than linking to the full skill name - e.g. fill out the "Moon Ore" section of the template with "Ubiquitous, Common, Uncommon, Rare, Exceptional". And don't hide these three sections in an expand box, just leave them as text on the profile. | ||
:: If I were handier with wiki I'd draft up the actual example. But basically the template on Devalt's sandbox right now has sections "Alt Name" , "Locations" , "Perfect Skills", "4% Implant", etc. Replace that with "Alt Name", "Locations", "Asteroid Ores" , "Moon Ores" , "Other Types", "4% Implant", etc. | |||
:: It keeps the page searchable while retaining the clean look of the template. Drawbacks are that people can make typos on the template - and if the skills change again, the links don't break (e.g. right now it's REALLY easy to see who hasn't updated their refiner profile since December). I don't think the skills changing are going to be a frequent thing, though. --[[User:Anidien Dallacort|Anidien Dallacort]] ([[User talk:Anidien Dallacort|talk]]) 18:01, 30 July 2022 (UTC) | |||

I like the requirements - and love the approach. I'll put some thought into it, but right out of the gate, I would add the refiners themselves to the maintainability category - how easy is it for them to update their own profile? --[[User:Anidien Dallacort|Anidien Dallacort]] ([[User talk:Anidien Dallacort|talk]]) 17:55, 30 July 2022 (UTC) | : I like the requirements - and love the approach.
