Template:Card/doc

From Fallen London Wiki (Staging)
  • 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
  • Option1OptionX 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.
