{{Yes Icon}}See [[ Template: Tactical Sense (Long War)|Tactical Sense ]] for an example. The idea is to make template for each perk which afterwards can be used in Class trees, equipment tables, Alien and Exalt abilities tables and much more. Thus when a perk requires to be updated, you will have to go the template and edit once, not having to revisit each article making use of the perk.
 
  
Note that the current base template has two parameters:<br>
+
* Could use more details and updates.
-  "align" with "center" as a default value.
 
You can use to change the alignment of both icon and text, thus using the template in  either class trees or ordinary tables. <br>
 
You can use it as such :  name of template |align = left/center/right/justify <br>
 
- "text" which is used to display the description of the perk.  
 
By default it is switched of therefore in order to display the description you should add - name of template |text=1
 
  
Do not be surprised if you see on the template page no description. It is there and you can browse/edit it by going to the edit screen.
 
  
{{Yes Icon}}All perks/abilities should eventually be added for easy browsing by users in the [[ Abilities List (Long War) | Abilities list]] article.
