In terms of how this wiki is set up, Advantages, Quirks, and Gremlins have their data entered in the same way.  They are, however, distinct item types within the wiki.
This tutorial will describe how to fill out the [[Form:Advantage|'''Create an Advantage''']], [[Form:Quirk|'''Create a Quirk''']], and [[Form:Gremlin|'''Create a Gremlin''']] forms.  They are all mechanically similar, but stored in different databases hence the separate forms.


#First, make sure the Advantage, Quirk, or Gremlin doesn't already exist by checking the relevant {{#cargo_query:
#{{ExactWords|item}} This also prevents duplication because the form will not allow a second entry for the exact same wording.

This tutorial will describe how to fill out the Create an Advantage, Create a Quirk, and Create a Gremlin forms. They are all mechanically similar, but stored in different databases hence the separate forms.

  1. Please ensure information for item is copied verbatim from Victory Belles. For words, this includes capitalization, accented marks, spelling errors, and strange grammar. For numbers, this includes decimals (please do not round). This also prevents duplication because the form will not allow a second entry for the exact same wording.
  2. Fill it in like this. The first property is mandatory because all item properties have at least one impact, but only some have up to six (not shown in image below). Note that this page does not distinguish between red/green game text, that will be handled on another page. Ensure that a = is included between the name and its impact so that future displays will work properly (splitting on the =).
