| While I like the general Abjuration layout (since I tweaked it and all) I'm now thinking that the skilltrainer template is pointless. The ideal thing would be to write a MediaWiki extension that can pull the list of trainers from the skill's trainer category page, grab notated info from each of them (like are they a general/assoc/guild/quest trainer and do they have any specific notes for this skill) and format them. Keeping trainer pages up-to-date-ish might happen. Trainer listings on skill pages? I have my doubts. :) [[User:Valere|Valere]] 17:35, 25 April 2016 (EDT) | While I like the general Abjuration layout (since I tweaked it and all) I'm now thinking that the skilltrainer template is pointless.
