ERROR: NO SURGERY STEP 1.
Procedure

Usage

(Above should show ERROR: No surgery step 1, don't worry!)

The SurgerySteps template takes a carefully curated list of up to surgery_steps, which should each be a subpage of Template:SurgeryStep, e.g. Template:SurgeryStep/mechanic_wrench.

The arguments alternate between a SurgeryStep, and a string replacing the default text for the surgery step. Leave the description argument blank if you want to use the default text.

(Note that a few SurgerySteps do not support custom names, though I don't see a reason why they shouldn't.)

Thus, a simple two-step surgery consisting of a default mechanic_open and a custom-named pry_off_plating called "yank them open." would look like

{{SurgerySteps|mechanic_open||pry_off_plating|yank them open.}}

which would render as:

Procedure
Step 1: Screwdriver Screwdriver: unscrew the shell. Scalpel(75%) Kitchen Knife (50%) Any other sharp item (10%)
Step 2: Crowbar Crowbar: yank them open. Hemostat (10%)

If you're going to stretch this across multiple lines, break the line before the pipe (the | symbol) instead of immediately after.

{{SurgerySteps|mechanic_open|custom open text|

pry_off_plating|yank them open.}} will fail.

{{SurgerySteps|mechanic_open|custom open text

|pry_off_plating|yank them open.}} will succeed.
