'''<code>Template:Skill</code> renders a single dark, bordered skill-tree node box containing a label, with no hover behaviour.'''
__TOC__

== Overview ==
This template draws one fixed-size skill node: a 220×80px dark grey box with a light border and white centered text. It takes a single <code>name</code> parameter, which is the text shown inside the box. If <code>name</code> is left empty the template outputs nothing at all (the box is suppressed). It is the plain, non-interactive sibling of [[Template:SkillHover]] (which adds a hover tooltip). On the live wiki the actual skill trees are built with <code>{{ImageTooltip}}</code> nodes inside the per-class [[Skill Tree]] data templates, so <code>Template:Skill</code> is a simple/standalone node box and is not currently the node type used on the live Skill Tree page.

== Parameters ==
{| class="wikitable"
! Parameter !! Required? !! What it does !! Example
|-
| <code>name</code> || Required || The text shown centered inside the node box. If blank or omitted, the template renders nothing. || <code>name=Unyielding Bastion</code>
|}

== How to use ==
1. Type <code><nowiki>{{Skill</nowiki></code> to start the template.
2. Add the node label with <code>|name=</code> followed by the text you want inside the box.
3. Close with <code><nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>.

There is no special syntax — <code>name</code> is plain text. Example: <code><nowiki>{{Skill|name=Rampage}}</nowiki></code> produces a box reading "Rampage". Because the box is a fixed 220×80px and has a fixed left margin, dropping several of them in a row produces a vertical-ish stack of equally sized node boxes.

Note: if you want the box to also show a description when the reader hovers over it, use [[Template:SkillHover]] instead.

== Copy this ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow:auto;">
{{Skill
|name=
}}
</syntaxhighlight>

== Example ==
Live result:

{{Skill|name=Unyielding Bastion}}

Wikitext that produced it:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow:auto;">
{{Skill|name=Unyielding Bastion}}
</syntaxhighlight>

== Tips & notes ==
* The box size (220×80px), colours (<code>#191919</code> fill, <code>#4d4d4b</code> border) and left margin are hard-coded in the template — there are no parameters to change them.
* An empty <code>name</code> renders nothing, so this template will never leave a blank box on the page.
* Related: [[Template:SkillHover]] is the same box plus a hover tooltip; [[Template:ImageTooltip]] is the image-based node actually used to build the live [[Skill Tree]] data templates.
