Template:Card
- location: Where the card appears. The location name is plain-text, it will be converted to image-link by the template.
- locationX: Optional extra locations in which the card also appears
- Description The description of the card, 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.
- Unlocked with lists unlocks. Use Template:Unlock here, such as "{{Unlock|Watchful}} 100" or "{{Unlock|Shard of Glim|10 x}}".
- Locked with lists qualities that lock an action. Instead of "Unlocked with no more than ", use this to write it as "Locked with ". Use Template:Unlock here too. (It sounds weird, but it adds the appropriate category for tracking quality usage.)
- Frequency allows you to note the frequency of the card in plain text. For a list of supported frequencies, see Category:Card Frequency.
- Discardable - setting this option to "no" will display a note about the card being non-discardable, and add it to Category:Non-discardable.
- colour Allows you to list the colour of the card border and automatically add it to the right category. Don't include for normal card border. Acceptable parameters: bronze, silver, gold, red, purple, black, greenliving, green, blackzee, darkblood, blue, lightblue
- Option1–OptionX Allow you to list options on the card (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, the Card template itself would treat this as 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 cards, Template:Options can be used instead of (or in addition to) the OptionX options. See An Implausible Penance for an example.
