Editing Template:Loss/doc

__NOTOC__

This template is used for Effects that decreases qualities and items. It replaces the old system, and fully supports both item losses (formerly {{tl|Item Loss}}), and pyramidal qualities (formerly {{tl|Drop}}). 

Usage: <code><nowiki>{{Loss|A|B|<params>}}</nowiki></code>

*The first parameter is the name of the item or quality.
*The second parameter is the amount gained. Standard formatting is "#" for discrete qualities, "# x" for items, and "-# CP" for pyramidal qualities.

=== Parameter list ===
*'''image''', this parameter is used to set a custom image. Its value is the image name to be used, including the .png postfix but without the File: prefix. Please note that this should be the small version of the file (so ending in small.png). Also note that this will now only apply to the image at the front; changing the image of later {{tl|IL}}'s is no longer supported. Set this to "none" to not display an image.
*'''<nowiki>{{{1}}}</nowiki>''', ie the first unnamed parameter defines the quality or item that is being decreased, with its value being the full pagename of this quality.
*'''<nowiki>{{{2}}}</nowiki>''', ie the second unnamed parameter defines the amount by which the first unnamed parameter is decreased. Its value is the numerical decreased, including either the x or the CP postfix. Do not use this parameter if one of the following two parameters are used.
*'''Appearance''', this parameter overwrites how the selected quality or item is displayed. Can be use to add italics or change the text entirely.
*'''occurrence''', this parameter is used when the quality change starts with An occurrence. Its value is the new numerical value of the quality.
*'''to''', this parameter is used when the quality change looks like x has dropped to y. Its value is the new numerical value of the quality.
*'''message''',  this parameter is used to define a custom message for the quality/item decreased. Note that this will not work if either <code>|occurrence</code> or <code>to</code> are set.
*'''now''', this parameter is used to when the action sets a quality/item to a specific level, but doesn't use either <code>|occurrence</code> or <code>~to</code>. Note that unlike those <code><nowiki>{{{2}}}</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{{message}}}</nowiki></code> do work with this one.
*'''reset''', this parameter is used when the quality change looks like x has been reset: a conclusion, or a new beginning?. Its value is either no (default) or yes.
*'''twist''', this parameter is used when the quality change looks like A twist in your tale! You are no longer x. Its value is either no (default) or yes.
*'''gone''', this parameter is used when the quality change looks like Your x Quality has gone. Its value is either no (default) or yes.
*'''hidden''', this parameter is used to define whether the change is hidden or not. If the change is hidden set this to yes, otherwise don't include it.
*'''Menace location''', this parameter is used when the quality loss occurs in a Menace location connected to that Menace and categorizes it as appropriate. Its value, if used, is the name of the location.
*'''suppress properties''', when set to yes the template will not add the Loss categories or properties to the page.
