Proposed Mod Attributes (Discussion Page)[edit source]

Below is a work-in-progress list of attributes that can be associated with mod pages. Feel free to add anything you might think is useful. Let's try to keep it organized, so group similar or related properties as best you can. Note that Baseline has been removed from this list on purpose, that should be a Pack attribute based on the Pack's guidelines. ~Farlo Talk 19:56, July 15, 2013 (MDT)
