Hi,

I saw your recent changes to the Get rid of the plant page.

It seems that you've essentially replaced using the Action template with recreating what the template is actually doing.

Since the whole point of templates on the wiki is to have a consistent look and feel we can control from a single location, I don't understand the purpose of such a significant change, which leaves this page different than other Action pages.

Was this specifically just to get rid of the brackets shown around the three possible card sources for this Action? If so, I don't think it's a good approach to have a page duplicate a common template's content (making it harder to maintain) just to solve a simple visual inconsistency.

There are much simpler ways to do this (which will make this more easy to copy to other such pages with multiple sources linked). e.g. Add a new field to the Action template for multiple source links. This is what we did when we wanted the ability for an Action page to show a custom name for the redirecting storylet/card - we've added the "Title Appearance" field to the template.

Thanks!
