Paging User:Card: are linked actions a meaningful modifier, if their only action-related pro is "This action usually inherits the pros and cons of whatever action triggers it" (which sounds like it means "doesn't fix anything")? Breaking out actions can be good for writing clearer rules, but this wiki page is more about what systems exist and what problems they have, than how best to write them down. --Kevan (talk) 09:05, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
