Editing Template:Action/doc

==Main data==
*'''Icon''' - The name of the image used to represent the action. Do not include the "File:" namespace prefix, but do include the ".png" file extension.
*'''From Card/Storylet title''' - Copy the name of the card or storylet which contain this action.
**'''Title Appearance''' will change how this link looks like.
**'''From field formatted''' - When set to any value, this means that the From field already contains formatting, so the template won't make it into a link. Useful for actions with multiple source cards/storylets.
*'''Action cost''' - Only enter an '''Action cost''' for values other than 1.
*'''Description''' - The Action's description. When entering please be very mindful of [[Trimming Guidelines]]!
*'''Description summary'''- We want to move this Wiki in a more user-generated direction (just like the best Wikis out there) so we would like users to summarize the Action's description in their own words.
*'''Game Instructions''' is for adding non-narrative game instructions. It doesn't count for the 250-rule.
*'''Unlocked with''' lists the necessary conditions for this action to be selectable in-game. If there are none, leave this blank.
*'''Locked with''' lists conditions that will cause this action to be locked. Use this only if it's more logical here than in '''Unlocked with'''.
==Challenge difficulty==
*'''BroadQuality''' and '''BroadDiff''' are used when the action tests a quality using the [[Broad difficulty]] system.
*'''NarrowQuality''', '''NarrowDiff''', and (optionally) '''NarrowMin''' and '''NarrowStep''' are used when the action tests a quality using the [[Narrow difficulty]] system.
*'''LuckChallenge''' is used for a Luck challenge. See {{t|LuckChallenge}} for possible values
*'''ModifiedQuality''' is used together with the next two to describe challenges modified by a quality.
*'''ModifiedAmount''' the amount the difficulty is modified
*'''ModifiedIncrease''' set this to <code>+</code> if the difficulity is increased instead of decreased (the default)
*'''Challenge information''' is for describing challenges that don't fit the usual Broad or Narrow types. If in doubt, tell the relevant quality level and success percentage. It helps greatly!
==Results==
*'''Redirects to''' - When the action redirects the player to a different card or storylet. Example: [[Discover the secrets of the Clay Men 0]]. Entering anything in this field will remove '''Success title''' and '''Success description'''. If you wish to keep those, use '''[[Template:Redirect]]''' instead.
**'''Redirect Appearance''' will affect what this link looks like.
*'''Success title''' is the title of the in-game text displayed when an action was successful.
*'''Success description''' is the in-game text displayed when an action was successful. Due to copyright restrictions we no longer allow more than 250 characters of this to be displayed. Considering using instead:
*'''Success summary''' allows a user to enter their own summary of the success text. This should be in the user's own words; it is '''not''' the place for in-game content.
*'''Success Instructions''' - Same as "Game Instructions", but for success text.

If there are any rewards, write them below this template.
