This article provides a guideline to standardise usage of profession related templates.

==Profession ordering, colors and icons==
Each profession is identified by a unique icon for that profession and the following color codes have been selected to represent the professions on the Guild Wars Wiki. For information grouped by profession, always use the profession ordering seen on the [[character creation]] screen, [[Skills and Attributes Panel]] or Heroes tab on the [[Party Search panel]], which is ordered as follows:

{| style="margin:0.25em; border:1px solid #666; border-collapse:collapse; text-align:center;" border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"
! colspan=2 | Profession || Icon || Tint color || Background color || Border color || Color template
|-
| {{w}} || [[Warrior]]|| {{tl|w}} || style="background: #FFC" | #FFC || style="background: #FF8" | #FF8 || style="background: #EA3" | #EA3 || {{tl|w-color}}
|-
| {{r}} || [[Ranger]]|| {{tl|r}} || style="background: #EFC" | #EFC || style="background: #CF9" | #CF9 || style="background: #5A0" | #5A0 || {{tl|r-color}}
|-
| {{mo}} || [[Monk]]|| {{tl|mo}} || style="background: #CEF" | #CEF || style="background: #ACF" | #ACF || style="background: #44B" | #44B || {{tl|mo-color}}
|-
| {{n}} || [[Necromancer]] || {{tl|n}} || style="background: #CFE" | #CFE || style="background: #9FC" | #9FC || style="background: #0A5" | #0A5 || {{tl|n-color}}
|-
| {{me}} || [[Mesmer]] || {{tl|me}} || style="background: #EDF" | #EDF || style="background: #DAF" | #DAF || style="background: #80A" | #80A || {{tl|me-color}}
|-
| {{e}} || [[Elementalist]] || {{tl|e}} || style="background: #FDD" | #FDD || style="background: #FBB" | #FBB || style="background: #B33" | #B33 || {{tl|e-color}}
|-
| {{a}} || [[Assassin]] || {{tl|a}} || style="background: #FEF" | #FEF || style="background: #FCE" | #FCE || style="background: #A08" | #A08 || {{tl|a-color}}
|-
| {{rt}} || [[Ritualist]] || {{tl|rt}} || style="background: #DFF" | #DFF || style="background: #BFF" | #BFF || style="background: #0AA" | #0AA || {{tl|rt-color}}
|-
| {{p}} || [[Paragon]] || {{tl|p}} || style="background: #FEC" | #FEC || style="background: #FC9" | #FC9 || style="background: #960" | #960 || {{tl|p-color}}
|-
| {{d}} || [[Dervish]] || {{tl|d}} || style="background: #EEF" | #EEF || style="background: #DDF" | #DDF || style="background: #77C" | #77C || {{tl|d-color}}
|-
| {{any}} || Any || {{tl|any}} || style="background: #EEE" | #EEE || style="background: #DDD" | #DDD || style="background: #666" | #666 || {{tl|any-color}}
|}
"Any" refers to items and skills that can be used by any profession. These items and skills are also referred to as "Common".

The following templates are also available for use for situations where a normal profession does not apply:
{| style="margin:0.25em; border:1px solid #666; border-collapse:collapse; text-align:center;" border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"
! colspan=2 | Profession || Icon || Tint color || Background color || Border color || Color template
|-
| {{x}} || None || {{tl|x}} || style="background: #EEE" | #EEE || style="background: #DDD" | #DDD || style="background: #666" | #666 || {{tl|x-color}}
|-
| {{monster}} || Monster || {{tl|monster}} || style="background: #EEE" | #EEE || style="background: #DDD" | #DDD || style="background: #666" | #666 || {{tl|x-color}}
|}

Profession-independent items or skills are always sorted below those that are profession-specific. Monster skills are always sorted at the bottom.

===Color templates===
In order to simplify the usage of the standard colors and eliminate the need to memorise the codes, templates have been implemented to represent each color for each profession. These templates can be used to simplify the insertion of the standard colors into articles. Example usage:
<nowiki>{{w-color|xxx}}</nowiki>
Where ''xxx'' is one of the following values:
* lighter
* light
* dark
An alternate set of values that could be used are:
* tint (same as ''lighter'')
* background (same as ''light'')
* border (same as ''dark'')

If ''xxx'' is not specified, the default value is ''light'', although leaving it as the default is discouraged.

Aside from special circumstances, always attempt to use the more appropriate set of color values - either ''lighter-light-dark'' or ''tint-background-border''. Avoid mixing them up.
