With the two new skills added, I thought maybe we should improve our skill pages. A skill template might be useful, but just plain tables would work too. This is an example for the whole Alchemy (Skill) page. The Alchemy cell has a green background to correspond to crafting skills being green in the skill summary table at the bottom. I just recycled my text from the Crafting page for right now, something else could go there.

I went ahead and made the bottom skill links into a template, and have placed it on every skill page. You can see/modify the template at {{Skills}}. --An Adventurer 16:41, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
Another thing to discuss. What exactly should be on skill pages? My understanding is that currently, all that goes on skill pages is the basic info: In game descrip, costs, formulas, etc.
Should we consider any merging of pages, or keep them all separate? Take alchemy for example. We have the the skill page at Alchemy (Skill), the more broad guide page (at least that is what is supposed to be) at Alchemy, and we have another page just for items at Alchemy Items. Would it be better to have this all merged into one page?
If we are merging the alchemy skill page with the general guide page, should we consider doing the same thing with weapons? For example, merging Sword (Skill) with Swords into Sword?
Or should we keep the pages devoted to the skills and the broader guide/info pages separate?
