Template:Legacy perk: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 04:33, 19 September 2026

Adds a compact reference, source note, and semantic data to a Legacy perk page. It places the article in Category:Legacy perks, separately from class talents.

This template describes the explicitly supplied game version; older records default to the BlizzCon 2026 demo. Its Source checked status records verification against the cited import source, not independent in-game testing. A maximum rank does not imply that every rank's effect has been confirmed. Record rank text and its limitations in the article body.

Use a plain tree name matching a heading on Legacy perks, a plain number for maximum rank, a full source URL, and an ISO date. For an icon, supply the uploaded filename without the File: prefix; the icon links to its file page for source and attribution.

{{Legacy perk
|icon=
|tree=
|max_ranks=
|source_url=
|snapshot=
|game_version=
}}

The optional research_needs parameter controls this article’s research requests. When omitted, it asks for the current Forever tooltip and rank-condition evidence. After adding evidence, set it to the remaining semicolon-separated requests. Set research_needs= explicitly empty when all requests are resolved; removing the parameter restores the default requests. Resolving a task does not automatically change the source snapshot or its evidence status.

The presentation is shared with Template:Talent/styles.css. For rank tables, use class="wikitable fw-talent-ranks".

TemplateData

Reference box and source-snapshot metadata for a Legacy perk from a dated Forever source snapshot. Source checked does not mean independently validated in-game.

Template parameters[Edit template data]
This template prefers block formatting of parameters.
