Template:GetSkillLink

[[Skills:Unknown]]

Documentation

This template produces a link to the appropriate skill page. It was created to streamline page writing (you no longer need to look up a skill's group in order to link to it, as this template will do it for you) and to flag any pages which need updating when CCP decides to rename or move skills in a future game expansion. Any pages with outdated skill links will be added to the category Obsolete Skills and will be shown in red on the page itself.

This template feeds the more general {{Sk}} template; in most cases, it's recommended that you use {{Sk}} to link to skills, as it has more options and is easier to use.

Syntax

{{GetSkillLink | skill | level }}

skill

The name of the skill you would like to link to. Please make sure it's capitalised properly (use title case spelling, i.e. Gallente Strategic Cruiser, not Gallente strategic cruiser).

level

The level of the skill (as per the usual Eve convention, use upper-case Roman numerals (like I, III or V)). This parameter is optional; you can omit it if you would only like to link to the skill without reference to a particular skill level.

Examples

{{GetSkillLink|Mechanics}} gives Mechanics

{{GetSkillLink|Gallente Battleship}} gives Gallente Battleship

{{GetSkillLink|Cloaking|IV}} gives Cloaking IV

{{GetSkillLink|Wabbit-Hunting}} gives [[Skills:Wabbit-Hunting]]

Dependencies

The template uses {{!}} to generate the pipe character for the piped links.

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 {{GetSkillPrice}} and {{GetSkillMult}}). 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.

The skill information was last updated for: Rubicon 1.3.
