Module:MaroScaleSandbox

From MTG Wiki
Revision as of 05:37, 6 July 2022 by >Jerodast (Dump old LEGAL_EXPANSIONS list. Try footnote group although I suspect it won't work perfectly as wikipedia doc page suggests.)
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This is a sandbox page for experimenting with the Module:MaroScale lua script. Click for /doc access.

Goals:

  • Learn a bit more how it's used/about Modules
  • Make some updates/improvements (see script comments for details)

User:jerodast (talk) will request to delete this page once any useful changes are merged to core MaroScale page.

Since this module gets arguments from frame:getParent(), its use is best exemplified / tested via the calling template. These examples don't use real references, which in practice would be true citations with a full reference footnote. In these examples, ratings will always be EXPECTED to be in ascending order once sorted by date, to easily verify correctness.

Let's put[a] in some[b] fake footnotes to test compatibility of tables & other footnotes.[c]

--[[ Sandbox page for the MaroScale lua script

jerodast will request to delete this page once any useful changes are merged to
  the live MaroScale page

Goals for jerodast:
  * (DONE?) learn a bit more how it's used, AND about Modules in general
  * (DONE) update LEGAL_EXPANSIONS (although it's not used at all rn lol)
  * allow for not-a-single-number phrasings to be given an approximate number
      for sorting but still display, e.g. "about a 9" (treated as 9) or
      "7 or 8" (treated as 7.5)
  * explore possibility of having dates show up in the list of ratings changes,
      since the current simple serial list presentation makes ratings appear
      uniformly spaced when they're not

Lua debug console test run:
	mw.log(p.TableBuilder(mw.getCurrentFrame():newChild{title="Template:TEST",args={["entry3"] = "Noratings",["name3"] = "Redlink",["note3"] = "This entry has no ratings and may be ignored!",["printings3"] = "Ravnica, Mirrodin, War of the Spark,",["ratings2"] = "{3,2018-10-17,<sup>[4]</sup>},{4,2019-08-10,<sup>[4]</sup> No entry!},",["entry4"] = "Mix ratings and printings",["ratings4"] = "{5,2013-08-10,<sup>[4]</sup>},{6,2018-10-17,<sup>[4]</sup>},{7,2019-08-10,<sup>[4]</sup>},{8,2021-08-10,<sup>[4]</sup>},",["printings4"] = "rtr, Lorwyn, Rivals Of Ixalan, WAR",}}:newChild{title="Module:MaroScaleSandbox"}))
