=== Total Damage section on Skill Pages ===
=== Rules on Related Skills and Total Damage on Skill Pages ===
When adding a '''Related Skills''' section on skill pages, please keep the following rules in mind:
*For all skills:
**DO add any skills that directly mentions the skill by name.
**DO add any skills that mention any unique classification, such as "Switching Skill" or "El's Resonance Skill".
**Do NOT add any skills that do not belong to the character path of the skill you are editing.
*For Buff/Active/Special Active/Hyper Active/Master Skills:
**DO add any '''passives''' that mention its skill tier, such as [[Resonance]] or [[Flexible Mind]].
***Do NOT add '''active''' skills that do, such as [[Verdict]] or [[Necromancy]].
**Do NOT add any skills that apply a generic cooldown, MP or damage related effect to all skills or a subset of skills not covered by the rules above (ie "Reduces special active cooldown by x%"), unless that skill is covered under the Total Damage rules below (such as [[Knighthood]]).
*For Passive skills:.
**DO add any other passives that influence specific effects granted by the current passive, such as [[Soul Collector]] and any passives that affect the '''Gathered Souls''' it grants.
**DO add a list of all skills it applies to in accordance with the rules above, if this is not already listed directly on the passive (as is the case with [[Enhanced Grenades]] or [[Memory of the Sword]]).
When creating a '''Total Damage''' section on skill pages, please keep the following rules in mind:
When creating a '''Total Damage''' section on skill pages, please keep the following rules in mind:
*Always calculate damage under the assumption of one target, unless the skill has separate damage values for multiple targets, such as [[Hypersonic Stab/ModA|[Mod] Hypersonic Stab]].
*Always calculate damage under the assumption of one target, unless the skill has separate damage values for multiple targets, such as [[Hypersonic Stab/ModA|[Mod] Hypersonic Stab]].

*Any one-time effects that aren't permanently available, such as [[Memory of the Sword]]'s "Every 3rd Conwell Skill" effect.
*Any one-time effects that aren't permanently available, such as [[Memory of the Sword]]'s "Every 3rd Conwell Skill" effect.
*Any effects that require a debuff on a target, such as [[Gaze of Abyss]] or [[Sage's Wisdom]].
*Any effects that require a debuff on a target, such as [[Gaze of Abyss]] or [[Sage's Wisdom]].
As an exception to the above rules, please DO add listings for effects that significantly alter how a skill functions, even if it is timed, such as [[Sword of Victory]]'s effect on [[X-Slash]], or [[Limit Over]]'s G Limiter Release effects.
As an exception to the above rules, please DO add listings for effects that significantly alter how a skill functions, even if it is timed, such as [[Sword of Victory]]'s effect on [[X-Slash]], or [[Limit Over]]'s G Limiter Release effects. Also, DO add basic character systems such as [[Way of the Sword|Destruction Mode]] along with effects that modify the system; either directly or by providing an additional effect that you cannot opt out of, such as [[Oracle]].


Additionally, we have recently introduced variables into our Total Damage tables to make adjustments easier in the case of balance patches, as can be seen on for example [[Drop Poising]]. If you are comfortable working with them, feel free to use them instead of the older hardcoded tables used on pages like [[Flame Geyser]]. [[Template:Damage]] highly recommended.
Additionally, we have recently introduced [[Template:Damage]] into our Total Damage tables to make adjustments easier in the case of balance patches, as can be seen on for example [[Eternal Fog]]. If the template's documentation doesn't cover your specific case, should you consider either using variables like [[Carpet Bombing]] or hardcoding the calculation like [[Chaos Cannon]].

== Rules regarding Userpages ==
*All user-related pages must be included in the User or User talk namespaces.
*Keep your Userpage's subpages and external images reduced to minimum.
**Elwiki is not a hosting service. Excessive image uploads can be deleted even without a notice.
**If the content of the page is a guide about [[Elsword (game)]] you wish to only maintain on your own, extra space and asset usage if neccessary is understandable.
*Userpages are mostly meant for introduction and can contain anything about you, including game progress, e.g. your character's stats or your account's [[El Resonance]] level, as long as the content follows the rules.
**Subpages should only be related to [[Elsword (game)]].
*Keep in mind that Elwiki is not a platform suitable for fanfiction stories.
*If a user is inactive for a very long time, their page might be deleted. Advice to keep it? Contribute to the wiki actively!
*When it comes to purely fanmade pages, not being user introductions, readers must be warned with this [[Template:Fanmade|bannerbox]] beforehand.
