Module:WeaponData

Documentation

This module is used to autogenerate the weapon infoboxes contained in unit infoboxes, by drawing data from Module:WeaponData/data. The intent is to ease updating of unit infoboxes on the wiki; ideally, only the one data page needing to be changed every release. The concept is taken from e.g. the Combat Card Data module on the Library of Ruina Wiki.

Unlike Module:UnitData, there is no template for this module. If it is desired to generate a weapon infobox outside its unit infobox, the module should be invoked directly, e.g.:

{{#invoke:WeaponData|printInfobox|defname=striderdetriment_gauss|name=Name override}}

Data page

Module:WeaponData/data is a central store of data used by Module:WeaponData to automatically populate weapon infoboxes.

The page is a Lua table written to the local file temp/weaponStats.lua by the Wiki Data Export (dbg_wiki_export.lua) widget in Zero-K. This widget should be run once each update and the data page on the wiki replaced accordingly. It should not be necessary to edit the data manually.
