Template:Faction/doc

From Fallen London Wiki (Staging)

This Template is used to automatically format Faction pages and add a few things to them.

Automation[edit]

This Templates automatically adds these items: Favours/Renown or Connected (depending on the switch, see next section and Closest To). It also transcludes the Notable Sources page; if no such page is found it will instead generate a redlink prompting users to make such an page. Please use that link to ensure that the right name is used for the page.

The Really Important Parameters[edit]

There are two parameters that are really important to add:

Connected[edit]

|Connected = , acts as an behavioral switch for the Template. If set to |Connected = yes it will change its behavior from the usual Favours/Renown system to the Connected system. This adds an wiki note about Connections and deprecates the following parameters: Renown Item 10. Renown Item 25 and Renown Item 40

Description[edit]

|Description = [your description], is used to add the Faction's description. This description should be pulled (in descending order) from: The Factions opportunity card, the description of the connected quality (for Connected Factions) or a good Sidebar Snippet.

Other important ones[edit]

Associated items[edit]

|Card = , is meant for adding an factions opportunity card. If no such card exists don't use it. (note that you will need to provide the link; it should look like [[Card Name]] |Faction Item = , is used to add the factions Item, by which we mean the Item used to trade in favours for Renown. Its usage is the same as |Card. |Pet = , is for the factions pet, ie a companion gained using from A Clandestine Rendezvous which gives that factions favours.

Conflict Cards[edit]

|Conflict1, |Conflict2 and |Conflict3 are used to add Conflict Cards associated with the Faction. All conflict cards can be found at Category: Conflict Cards.

Renown Items[edit]

Renown Items can be added using |Renown Item 10, |Renown Item 25 and |Renown Item 40. Please use {{IL}} links for the Renown Items.
