```yaml

# Remember, leave a key empty if there is no value.  None will be a string,
# not a Python "NoneType"
#
# Also remember that all examples have 'disable_action' set to True.  If you
# want to use this action as a template, be sure to set this to False after
# copying it.
#
# This action example has a blank spot at action ID 2.  This is to show that
# Curator can disable allocation before one or more actions, and then re-enable
# it afterward.
