updated formatting guidelines a bit

New page

''Note: If you have a suggestion for improvement, go ahead and post it on [[Guild Wars 2 Wiki talk:Projects/Skill Version History/Page format|this discussion page]].''

* Copy the suggested format from this page and create a sub-page of the skill/trait/effect called history, e.g. Fireball/history.
* Add all game updates that alter the skill/trait/effect (use the entries from the history table if there is one)
** If an entry does not change the infobox in any way, example {{quote|Fixed a bug that...}}: Add the <code>|minor = y</code> parameter to the infobox. This will remove the infobox, but leave the update note intact.

== Suggested format ==

If the skill/trait/effect has undergone changes that modify its mechanics:
<pre>
{{Version history}}
or
{{Version history|pve = y}} (if the skill is listed as (PvE) and has a separate PvP version)
or
{{Version history|pvp = y}} (if the skill is listed as (PvP))

{{Skill infobox/historical}} or
{{Trait infobox/historical}} or
{{Effect infobox/historical}}</pre>
The /historical infoboxes are basically normal infoboxes with the exception that these do not create semantic properties and do not categorize pages, with the addition of three parameters: ''date'', ''changes'' and ''minor''. Omit these parameters for the initial version of the skill/trait/effect, for any changes include the date in YYYY-MM-DD format as well as changes as bullet points. Set the ''minor'' parameter to <code>y</code> if the update entry does not alter information that is displayed within the infobox template.

Example: [[Mirror Blade/history]]

If the skill/trait/effect has remained the same:
<pre>
{{Version history|unchanged = y}}

{{Skill infobox/historical}} or
{{Trait infobox/historical}} or
{{Effect infobox/historical}}</pre>

You can use some custom editor buttons that reduces the amount of copy and paste/typing by a fair bit, see [[User:Nefastu/JS/VersionHistory.js]]. You can add these by pasting the following code to your [[Special:MyPage/common.js|user JS]] page:
<pre>
RLQ.push(function () {
mw.loader.load( '/index.php?title=User:Nefastu/JS/VersionHistory.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' );
});
</pre>
