Caveats

If you use line breaks to format the layout of the source, then avoid putting a line break after the ability_name or description parameter. This will break the template and looks horrible:

Example

{{abilities
|Flame Spray
|A fiery attack to enemies in front of the caster
|icon=inv summerfest firespirit
|id=64717
}}

Result: [https://www.wowhead.com/?spell=64717 Flame Spray

] — A fiery attack to enemies in front of the caster

The unnamed parameters should all be on one line with a vertical bar (|) or the closing braces (}}) at the end.

Alternatively, you can use explicit parameter assignment (1=, 2=, etc).

Example

{{abilities
|1=Flame Spray
|2=A fiery attack to enemies in front of the caster
|icon=inv summerfest firespirit
|id=64717
}}

Result: Flame Spray — A fiery attack to enemies in front of the caster
