Please take a look at these proposed changes: Changes to Char template

I encountered a slight issue with the color templates like RCV or STR. I guess wiki renders the include before sending to the calling function. So it's fully HTML in the pass so we can't just use SkillName for category as it will mess with the category.

So, what I'd recommend is we remove color templates from Skill Name longterm.

In the meantime, you'll see my code auto-detects if this HTML is inserted. It will tag that page so we know we need to update the field to remove the template. If it doesn't detect it, it will auto add the character page to the "Skill Name Category" I'll call it. So now, all characters with the same skill will be added to a matching category and we can use this to better drive the Manual Build template and what characters a skillbook can level up.

Any thoughts or issues you see before we implement? Please feel free to play with User:Unatratnag/SandboxChar to see how it auto adds the skill name Category:45-Degree Joy. You'll see there's a template we include on each of these pages to drive it connecting to Category:Characters by Skill Name. If you want to see it detect, just add RCV to the SkillName and you'll see it doesn't create the 45-Degree Joy category, and instead adds it to Category:Template in SkillName
