There needs to be discussions and proposals before making changes to this template.

Since this is now affecting a lot of pages. More care and effort should be made to editing this template.

Please make a proposal here under a new topic before editing the template. -- Everspace (talk) 18:10, 27 May 2015 (PDT)

did my edit break something? it shouldn't be something that is visible with the way we currently use skillnav, the only time it is visible is when 'collapsed' is specified. i see the need when non-minor changes are made... if the diff should be reverted it should probably have been done via skillpage. ～dfmchfhf ^(T·C) 05:26, 28 May 2015 (PDT)

Awakening and 2nd Awakening

This is documenting what was changed.

• On Template:SkillPage, any awakening skills would also have (Class) Skills. Example, before Ancient Library Upgrade would have Categories: Female Mage Skills, Passive Skills, and Female Mage TP Skills. Because of this the Template:SkillNav would place Ancient Library Upgrade into Female Mage Skills, under passive, since it fits the categories. SkillPage was changed so that if Type2 was defined, it would not include (Class) Skills and leave only (Class) TP Skills.
• Template:ClassSkills also had the same problem as SkillNav with the DPL auto-generated, but all three pages have been "fixed" to a certain extent.

didn't notcategory=tp skills filter this out in dpl? not sure if it's more handy to be able to see tp skills as well as normal skills under the category page, since we already have dpl generating class skill lists which makes these categories only helpful for migration... a "category:(class) skills" page would optimally display the template skill list and we shouldn't need a "category:(class) tp skills" page to keep the wiki cleaner. ～dfmchfhf ^(T·C) 03:36, 29 May 2015 (PDT)

I recently recategorized Male Priest and Male Crusader skills to make way for their female counterparts, however after doing so I found the skill pages for Male Priest subclasses don't show the template for male priest skills, instead having a blank version of the original priest template (as I had moved them under the "Male Priest Skills" category" or in the case of Male Crusaders, a repeat of their subclass skillnav template. How do we change it so that the Male Priest Base class skillnav templates show up?

I found the solution, nevermind

However I found that the skill pages for Male and Female Crusaders won't display their base class skillnavs, how do we fix this?

CitricCurrent (talk)

After sometime, I found out that we were missing default values for priest in Template:BaseClass.

It should be fixed now. Please confirm. It may take some time for the browser to see the new template changes.

It's worked, thank you very much!

Should the old templates be deleted? With the current template I see no reason to keep them.

I am talking about these: Template:NavSkillsAsura.

Yes, I will delete them when I see that all of them are no longer used. I have alot on my plate, so it may take some time.

EDIT: If you could, help by checking all of them and making sure that all these NavSkils are not being used, except for Users's pages and/or "The Great Skill Metastasis Project" page.

One example is Template:NavSkillsCrusader. It is still being used by a skill, which probably should be removed by editing the page.

Once you confirm that that the NavSkill is not being used by a skill or a character class, place

{{Delete|Old Navigation Template}}

at the top of the page and it will help me by showing up in my deletion list.

'Removed Content' is for nostalgic reasons, but we can delete if necessary.

Thanks. I'll delete the templates soon.
