override coded virtual cards if they exist

Idea

+tag

 

We want these cards — which return content determined by code, as virtual cards — to be overridden by an actual card by their respective names if such a card is created.

 

We may want to solve this by implementing all of their functionality with regular cards (*search would present an interesting challenge here).

  • *recent_changes
  • *search
  • *broken_link

Note however that expose deck metadata in cards and expose card metadata in cards seem likely to introduce new coded virtual cards.

 

 

 

 

 

Why would we want to enable overriding of *recent_changes or *search? —John


the time I wanted to do it was when I wanted to change the default view.

Let's knock this down to low until we're sure we don't just want to make them real cards.  (done)
