 : A filter drop down for Wiki tables currently does not exist. Perhaps there is an extension, but installing any extension involves calling in Bates to install it. [[User:Arin Mara|Arin Mara]] ([[User talk:Arin Mara|talk]]) 20:10, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
+So how about a new template, that takes in arguments for each ore/reprocessing type in a category (Asteroid, Moon, and Other), and spits out a shortened version of the ore name in the subdivided template field?
+This is totally not wiki object formatting, but something like {Moon Ore = Ubiquitous [Yes/No] ; Common [Yes/No] ; Uncommon [Yes/No] ; Rare [Yes/No] ; Exceptional [Yes/No]} - and someone using the template in terms of {Moon Ore = Yes ; Yes ; Yes ; Yes ; Yes} would have their moon ore section appear as "Ubiquitous, Common, Uncommon, Rare, Exceptional".  Someone with the template {Moon Ore = Yes ; Yes ; No ; No ; Yes} would have the output of "Ubiquitous, Common, Exceptional".
+I'm not sure if this "if/then" type template is possible, but it would:
+- Keep the ores in the same order on every profile
+- Link back to the full skill (the words could be links back to the skill page)
+- Avoid typos in the ore names
+- Shorten the text displayed while retaining the links - e.g. "Ubiquitous" instead of "Ubiquitous Moon Ore Processing V".
