Template:Rulings

From

 Template Documentation[view | edit | history | purge]

This template is for rulings (about e.g. mechanics) that are directly quoted from Release Notes or another official source. It uses <div class="crBox"> and <p class="crTitle"> for formatting, same as {{CR}} and {{examples}}.

Rulings from different sources should use different instances of this template, each appropriately labeled.

Syntax

Bulleted list syntax

{{rulings 
  | set     = <!-- If the rulings are from a set's Release Notes, include the full name of the set here -->
  | source  = <!-- If the rulings aren't from a Release Notes, include the name of the document here -->
  | date    = 
  | ref     = 
  | refname = 
  | Ruling 1
  | Ruling 2
  | Ruling 3
  ...
}}

Description list syntax

{{rulings 
  | gloss   = 1
  | source  = 
  | date    = 
  | ref     = 
  | refname = 
  | Heading 1 | Ruling 1 
  | Heading 2 | Ruling 2
  | Heading 3 | Ruling 3
  ...
}}

Parameters

• 1, 2 … 30: Rulings, directly copied from the source. By default, they are formatted as a bulleted list.
• gloss: If true (e.g. gloss=1), changes the bulleted list to a description list. See #Description list for formatting.
• set: Makes the title "From the Release Notes for ''[[{{{set}}}]]''"
• source: Makes the title "From {{{source}}}". Overrides set.
• date: The date that the source was published.
• ref: The reference for the source. Don't include <ref> tags; they automatically applied. ref can be omitted if refname points to an existing source in the article.
• refname: The name of the reference.

Examples

Bulleted list example

{{rulings
  | set     = Streets of New Capenna
  | date    = March 31, 2022
  | ref     = {{DailyRef|feature/streets-new-capenna-release-notes-2022-04-20|''Streets of New Capenna'' Release Notes|[[Wizards of the Coast]]|April 20, 2022}}
  | refname = SNC Release Notes
  | Once an ability that causes a creature to connive begins to resolve, no player may take any other actions until it’s done. Notably, opponents can’t try to remove the conniving creature after you discard a nonland card but before it receives a counter.
  | If no card is discarded, most likely because that player’s hand is empty and an effect says they can’t draw cards, the conniving creature does not receive a +1/+1 counter.
  | If a resolving spell or ability instructs a specific creature to connive but that creature has left the battlefield, the creature still connives. If you discard a nonland card this way, you won’t put a +1/+1 counter on anything. Abilities that trigger "when [that creature] connives" will trigger.
  | Connive X is a variant of connive. If a creature connives X, its controller will draw X cards, discard X cards, then then put a number of +1/+1 counters on the conniving permanent equal to the number of nonland cards discarded this way.
