Reasoning for not adding every existing skill to the Main Page.
== A little face lift ==
I hope by making the main page look a little nicer that it will encourage other players to contribute more often.

== What is a Spoiler ? ==
So I've been wondering where should we draw the line to what is a spoiler and what isn't ?
It would be nice if the content inside the spoiler tag can be formatted like the rest of the article.

==Regarding Skills that go on the Main Page==
Recently I discovered a [[Phrenology|new skill]] in a dungeon and added it to the Main Page. Then, on further reflection, I removed it.
Should we list every possible skill on the front page? I don't think it's a good idea.
* When a player is new to the game, there is no need to overwhelm them with the vast array of skills (likely to increase with most major updates).
* Exposing skills that are acquired through special foes, dungeons, and advanced level areas is basically spoiling away part of the game. I think it's better to leave that deeper within the wiki, not on the front page.
* Besides, there is only so much space available on the Main Page for it to remain easy to use and clear.
'''TLDR''' My hunch so far is to cover all the basic, fairly common skills that show the rich content in the game, without spoilers. As a general rule of thumb: if the skill comes from a high level dungeon, requires slaying difficult foes, and what not.. I would link to it from within the parent article (the dungeon, zone, or NPC) but not on the front page. This gives some room for new players to explore and discover on their own. Once a player found such a skill of course, it's really easy to look it up either in game (/wiki) or via search here.
