@PikojavaDama If you two are in agreement on restricting the information this page offers like that, I can hardly say no. (Although I must admit it confuses me - why stick with an unspoken, elusive intention of the original page's creator that not only isn't reflected in, but clearly contradicts both the page title and introduction, not to speak of clarity, accessibility of information, and page reference? We wouldn't exclude "void gaze" from the "powers" page either if the creator of the "powers" page for some reason had the intention to only list lethal powers, would we? It can't be the restriction to "useful" information - a wiki isn't a game guide and doesn't restrict itself to information that is of immediate use in-game. But nevermind.) Anyway, please let me point out a few things before anyone does remove things:

First, not all special actions I added are without reward, like raiding all of Timsh's chests or rescuing the guard who helped Corvo. Unless there are additional reasons for removing those as well, I'd argue to let those stand and not remove any and all additions. After all, special actions for opening a safe or looting special areas or deposits have already been here before, so that category isn't new.

Second, since such a major restriction may confuse and inconvenience people who (like myself) search for "special actions" in order to find a complete (!) list by mission and not a very select few of those, I'd suggest stating clearly in the introduction or wherever appropriate what special actions are and aren't listed here, and to explicitly refer to the relevant mission pages for a complete and unrestricted list of special actions that can be performed there. (That way, one might also mitigate the paradox a little that is linking "special actions" to this page and then to list only a very select few.)

That's all.
