Editing Forum:The abolishment of the Fate action visibility rule

{{Forumheader|Wiki Updates}}
=={{PAGENAME}}==
<!--START-->
Following a discussion on the wiki Discord and an email to FBG, we've been allowed to record actions within F2P content that can't be seen without {{FontFate}}: <blockquote>We're more than happy to okay this request</blockquote>

I've already updated the [[Fallen London Wiki:Content Policy|policy page]]. Nevertheless, I'm hesitant to include content that's technically allowed now, but is part of a Fate-locked story that's otherwise off-limits (see [[Engaged in a Case:]] and [[A Flash Lay: your Mark:]] for examples).<br>

: In consultation with TFF, I have created a [[:File:Content policy flowchart.svg|flowchart]]. Not quite sure where to put it, or if svg is the best way, but now it exists. -- [[User:RagCall|RagCall]] ([[User talk:RagCall|talk]]) 12:59, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
: Could be handy [[Fallen London Wiki:Content Policy|here]]. [[User:TFF|TFF]] ([[User talk:TFF|talk]]) 13:08, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
: pedantic note about the flowchart: items/qualities that only exist during a fate-locked story (and not afterwards) tend to not be documented, though i'm not sure that's Official Policy [[Special:Contributions/2601:1C2:680:B430:DB:79F2:8881:45A1|2601:1C2:680:B430:DB:79F2:8881:45A1]] 20:50, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
::Its never been official policy to not add them, and we've always been allowed to add them (under the blanket could be seen on a profile rule); its just that totally internal qualities/items tend to not serve a real purpose.

: Sorry, but I found the policy text and the flowchart very confusing. Can you please include the actual text of the request which FBG were "happy to OK"? [[User:Adnoam|Adnoam]] ([[User talk:Adnoam|talk]]) 21:38, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
: Here's the request email:<blockquote>'''Fate Actions on the Wiki'''<br><br>As you might be aware, no narrative content is placed on the wiki if it can't be seen without spending Fate. This is pretty clear-cut as far as storylets and cards are concerned, less so with actions. Since their visibility without the required qualities is decided on a case-by-case basis, the wiki has a scattered record of them, which often causes confusion if something has been omitted unknowingly or not.<br><br>This is why we wanted to ask if you'd be fine with us ignoring the individual visibility settings for Fate-locked actions in otherwise non-Fate content and including them similarly to others like: https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Shake_your_Miniature_House_of_Chimes. It would help with the players' awareness of what can be expected from their purchases, and we hope the branch titles and descriptions give sufficiently little away.</blockquote> [[User:TFF|TFF]] ([[User talk:TFF|talk]]) 03:39, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
