This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing. |
A more complex version of Module:Data with more options and the ability to select indexes with an inequality operator.
Usage
{{#invoke:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|Module name|index1|2 lteq=index2 limit|...|}}
- 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 thatframe: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.
