Adding cards

Cards are put on the wiki as pages named "Card:card name". Each card page should contain a <card> tag showing the card text and properties. It can optionally have a Notes section that contains information about the card and a Related Cards section that links to other cards. Cards can also belong to other categories in addition to this one. For instance, a category of all cards in a specific faction.

For example:

<card>Fire Walker (name)
The Circle (faction)
Cost: 5P 1L
Restore cost: 2P 1L
Endurance: 7
Attack: 4
Range: 0
Character -- Fighter Human
1L: This gets +1 to attack until end of turn. Use this ability only 2 times per turn.
</card>

{{cardpage|The Circle}}

The range, cost, restore cost, attack, and endurance should be placed before the type line. The type line should be a type (Character, Tool, etc) followed by a double-dash ("--") and then the subtype. All the text after the type line is the card text.

For factionless cards, leave the faction line the card tag blank and but "Factionless" as the argument to {{cardpage|...}}.

The easiest way to add a card page is to type the full page name ("Card:card name") into the search box and then click "create this page" near the top of the page.

Note: This page needs to be updated to reflect changes in the game or need to be worked on for other reasons.
