Template:Item Actions/doc
From Fallen London Wiki
- Description The description of the storylet, which appears right below the name. Trimming Guidelines apply if this is longer than 250 characters.
- Description summary if you see it fit to write your own shorter one.
- Game Instructions can be used for game instructions (bold + italic text). This does not count against the character limit.
- Option1–OptionX Allow you to list options in the storylet (article names of the actions, in plain text). Please start with Option1 for the first option and keep them in order.
- Use the {{!}} workaround for changing option appearance, e.g. to avoid numbers from disambiguated pages: "|OptionX = Accept 2{{!}}Accept".
- (This works because {{!}} is expanded to | by the parser. If you'd just use | right away, this template itself would treat it as a parameter and end up very confused. {{!}} on the other hand is passed through templates, and only then converted to a pipe character when this particular danger is past.)
- For more complicated storylets, Template:Options can be used instead of (or in addition to) the OptionX options. See An Implausible Penance for an example. (It's a card, but it works the same.)
Template for the display & categorization of Item Actions, the Storylets visible when using Items.
