This post is intended for wiki editors so that we can discuss how best to implement the content described below.

The skills are going to change soon. Their names will stay the same, and their functions will be mostly the same but with some differences. Their descriptions will change. So, we'll need to change the Skills templates.

I'm thinking that the current table format isn't ideal. Tables are good for comparing data, but there's few reasons to do comparisons between skills. I'm wondering if a template for each skill might be better, to display all skill information in a standard way (sort of like the template for the Apps pages).

Fields needed would be:


 * Title
 * MP cost
 * unlock level
 * target (task or user or party)
 * official description (one to two sentences)
 * how to maximise the effects (one sentence)
 * whether a critical hit can occur and if so how to maximise its chance and effect (one sentence)
 * additional descriptions/notes (might not be needed)
 * examples of use, possibly hidden behind a spoiler-style button, mostly to avoid the main description looking too long, complex, and overwhelming

The disadvantage of this template approach is that each skill would take up a lot more space, but I think it would be justified for the sake of clarity.

What do you think about this approach? I'd like us to wait a day or so for discussion before we start implementing any of this.

The new official descriptions are listed here on github.

Technical descriptions are here (includes some duplication of the material in the official descriptions).
