			:::Thanks, it was quite the learning experience, I'd actually never created a template before. The one thing with the header you're trying to create, while it looks great, doing it with colspan is computationally very expensive. Even though you're specifying colspan=some number, the browser actually has to render the entire table before it can render that header because it needs to verify if there should be "dead space" (ie: colspan=2 with a 3 column table needs 1 column of dead space). I've updated the Skill Progression template with a second table instead.

			:::Regarding the padding, you can easily override this if you wish, either in tablebox CSS class (add: !important padding:0px;) or directly in the wikitext [[User:JMJimmy\|JMJimmy]] 15:25, 22 October 2009 (CEST)
			<pre>
			{\|style="padding:0px;"
			...tablestuff...
			\|}
			-or-
			{\|style="padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;" //to specify individual padding in the order of top, right, bottom, left.
			...tablestuff...

	There's no longer a need to enter skill numbers, they're all part of the template. It can also be extended fairly easily. If there are more than 5 headers it won't accept 6 simply because that would end up way off the page just like the horizontal display. Let me know what you think, if you'd prefer it the other way I don't mind, I can revert it no problem.

			::Wow man! Awesome work! I made a humble little edit to remove one break in there, which made the 2nd row super large. :) It's just how the wiki works, I don't know why it does that. I also shortened "Level" to [[Slvl]] to save space.

			::All in all the design is very good. I suppose we'd really should change texts such as "Cold Damage Per Second" into just "DPS", linking to a "Damage Per Second" article, and explain in the blurb above that it's [[cold]] damage. All to make the first row a lot smaller. I think 2 rows of text, like "Damage (br) Absorption", which is hard to abbreviate is ok, but not 3+ lines. Not a prio, though...

			::I'm really impressed! :)

			::Only thing I'd like is a nice little header for the table. Look here at [[Template:Skill Progression Test]]. It looks nice there, but your table is obviously quite flexible, and has a different amount of columns depending on the skill. Do you know id it's possible to make a header colspan change depending on how many columns it has? Due to a limitation in the wiki, which I have not found out why, tables' cells always have padding on the inside, making it impossible to make an outer table with a proper header... Either way, primarily I'd just like to get in a little <span style="font-size: 80%; font-weight: normal;"><nowiki>[</nowiki><span class="plainlinks">[http://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Template:Skill_Progression&action=edit e]</span><nowiki>]</nowiki></span> :)

 You're right that it looks better on the skill page. Unfortunately, on the combined page, it would make it VERY long if they were all like that. I have rolled it back, but hope it doesn't discourage you from helping with other skills!
