Module:LoadData/doc: Difference between revisions

This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature state, is considered relatively stable and bug-free, and may be used wherever appropriate. It can be mentioned on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users. To minimise server load and avoid disruptive output, improvements should be developed through sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing.

A more complex version of Module:Data with more options and the ability to select indexes with an inequality operator.

• Zeroth parameter is the name of the data module to read, without Module:, e.g. Example/data
• Next parameters, for an index N starting at one, are called |N= for the exact index you need, coerced to number if possible, |N lteq= to select the highest numerical index less than or equal to the argument, or |N gteq= for the opposite.
• |template= is a printf-style string to interpolate the resulting value(s) into, e.g. <b>%s</b>.
• |preprocess= is like |template= except that frame:preprocess is run on it; this makes e.g. template transclusions work.
• |if nil= is the string to return if the result is nil. Default is nil, which comes out as the empty string.
