Skill pages should contain the following elements in the order shown here.

Follow the link for information on coding and contents for each element.

Header

Use the following template:

{{skill
    |skillid=N/A
    |type=Buff
    |mpcost=19
    |description=Your deoxygenated blood has been replaced with lime juice.

You're way more alert than usually.
    |source=Lime Trainer
    |price=83 Meat
    |class=[[lime|Limeface]]
    |level=42
    |effect=[[Combat Initiative]] +100%
    |usemsg=You conjure a lime around yourself...
    {{acquireEffect|effect=Limetastic!|duration=10}}}}
  • SkillID: The in-game ID of the skill
  • Type: Buff? Passive? Combat?
  • MPCost: How many MP the skill uses (if applicable).
  • Description: The official description of the skill, as found in the Kingdom.
  • Source: Guild trainer? Gnomes? Starting skill?
  • Price: How much the skill costs to learn (if applicable).
  • Class: Character class (if applicable).
  • Level: Level at which skill can be acquired (if applicable).
  • Effect: The actual effect, in terms of game mechanics, the player experiences. For consistency, effects listed in this section should be written in the form that item enchantments are written in-game. Those listed should also link an appropriate Game Mechanics page. For example:
  • UseMsg: The skill's "Use Skill" message (if applicable)
  • The name and image for the skill are stored on the skill's metadata page, linked from the upper-right corner of the page.

The above example yields:

Other Information

The See Also should include a link to all relevant Game Mechanics pages (alphabetized, of course). For example:

Category

Any page that uses the {{skill}} template correctly will automatically be placed in Category:Skills or one of its subcategories. If the template is not given the type parameter, the page will be placed in Category:Incomplete. For other pages, add the following to the end of the page on its own line:
