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.
  • Option1OptionX 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.
