Proposal: [Appendix] Flair
Timed out 1-3. Failed by JonathanDark.

Add a new rule to the Appendix called “Flair” as follows:
Flair is a type of wiki template used to style the Ruleset. The Battle Master may freely add or remove flair from the Dynastic Rules, except where regulated by the ruleset. Flair has no effect on the rules or gamestate unless specified by the ruleset.
To add a flair to the ruleset:
* For single-line flair, insert <nowiki>{{Flair|Flair name}}</nowiki> between two lines of wikitext.
* For multi-line flair, insert <nowiki>{{Flair top|Flair name}}</nowiki> before the first line and <nowiki>{{Flair bottom}}</nowiki> after the last.To create a new flair, a Wizard or Idle Wizard can create a wiki page called “Template:Flair/Flair name.css” where “Flair name” is the name of the flair. The CSS styles of a flair may not add or remove text from the ruleset, or otherwise obscure/alter the contents of the ruleset except in appearance. Any Wizard or Idle Wizard may edit a flair’s CSS if it is not in the ruleset, or if it does not meet these criteria, to make it so.
The wiki page [[List of Flairs]] is flavourtext and should be kept up-to-date with a list of all available flairs.
Something like this was used in Kevan 29 for Zone Rules, and it made the ruleset more visually interesting and easier to parse. I personally think the variety made things more fun and every dynasty could all benefit from having it as an option. For some examples of Flairs I’ve already created, see https://wiki.blognomic.com/index.php?title=List_of_Flairs.

Against, from idle. That is a huge increase in the number of words in the ruleset for something that, as the comment box says, we can currently do informally anyway. Having some example code in the wiki is not unhelpful but it doesn’t need to be in the ruleset.
