Template:MaroScale

MaroScale is a template for building sortable tables of data provided by Mark Rosewater regarding his Rosewater Scales, such as the Storm and Rabiah Scales.

MaroScale's type parameter is a mandatory value that serves as the label for the first column. It should be Mechanic for the Storm and Gotcha Scales, Plane for the Rabiah Scale, Creature typefor the Beeble Scale, and Planeswalker for the Venser Scale.

MaroScale supports up to 500 entryN values containing the display text for mechanics or planes. For each N, the following additional parameters are allowed:

• nameN — The name of the actual article to link. The use of this parameter is equivalent to, in wikitext, [[nameN|entryN]].
• noteN — Attaches a footnote to this entry.
• printingsN — A comma-separated list of any sets, from Return to Ravnica foward, in which this mechanic has been printed.
• ratingsN — A comma-separated list of specifically-formatted references to citations for Storm Scale ratings. See below.

ratingsN is a comma-separated and curly-bracket-grouped set of ratings given to that mechanic, including full wiki refs. It uses a precise format to minimize the amount of boilerplate code needed by editors, in the general form {Rating,Date,Ref}, {Rating,Date,Ref}, {Rating,Date,Ref}, .... Trailing commas in the list (outside of the curly brackets) are ignored.

• Rating should be an integer on the range (1,10).
• Date must be in the form YYYY-MM-DD.
• Ref should be a full wiki reference of any type.

MaroScale generates a table containing all data provided, and populates a "Latest Ranking" column by calculating the most recent rating from the references provided. Rows are generated in alphabetical order of the entryN values, and the table can also be sorted by visitors by the "Latest Ranking" column.
