@Adnoam: I see. Just a misunderstanding then. I'm completely fine with using transclusions, it'll just take a while to actually change everything. (One more bullet on that long list ;))

@Anonymous: Concerning 2: I'm not a huge fan of just adding a parameter to indicate the "must"-property. The storylets behave differently enough to justify an extra template:


 * most have no options (which is a problem with Card/Storylet-templates)
 * a lot have no location (e.g. menaces reaching 8)
 * some are just a link in a chain, i.e. they always appear after a certain storylet und will redirect you to a new one (e.g. putting to zee)

Building wiki-pages based on parameters is a convoluted affair and the more parameters there are the more difficult it becomes. Both to write the template and for casual users to actually use it correctly (just look at templates such as Social Actions Auto)

Concerning 3: I would not scrap or change the Autofire-template. I think it's doing exactly what it should and I would keep it as it is.

It only becomes a problem when we want to press different mechanics into this template (like implementing options/branches, differentiating between storylets/cards, etc.). A new template for those MustUrgency-storylets avoids these problems and (hopefully) keeps templates simple and easy to use.

Even with the current pages in Category:Autofire and the new list the work is managable.
