Ability details

A template for creating elements containing all possible information about abilities that can be added to any page, by construction, especially to the Hero Pages. This template currently uses quite a bit of inline css.

Arguments and Guidelines

Fields are to be used when needed. Only fill in those that are relevant for the ability in question. Remember to write units in fields where the unit may not be obvious. Because of the multitude of abilities in the game, you may have to get a little creative using the existing fields and always remember to keep clarity and readability a top priority. New stat fields can be added to this template if needed, but it may in many cases be better to use existing fields.

Field	Description
ability_details	Detailed ability information that is not contained in the official description or statistics.
ability_image	The ability-image representing the ability or weapon. Ex: Ability-torbjorn1.png.
ability_name	The name of the ability or weapon. If a weapon as alternative firing modes, add (Primary Fire) or (Alternative Fire) to the weapon name.
ability_type	Weapon, Ability, Ultimate Ability, Passive Ability, etc.
ability_video	A concise video demonstrating the ability. The value should be the youtube video url code. That is, something like: KBkfGVjdt3c.

ammo_drain	How much ammo is drained per shot. Only use if fire rate is not given "per second" and more than 1 ammo is used per shot. Unit: ammo per shot.
