Module:Versions/doc

Module:Versions

Provides utility functions related to game versions by pulling all existing version pages by title, without the need to maintain a separate dataset.

This module provides the following function(s):

• latest - returns the latest version string.
• check - returns whether a given version string has a corresponding version page.
• get - renders an InfoboxNavRow with the prev and next versions populated correspondingly.

Usage

Return latest version

Returns the latest version, i.e. the highest version number among the version pages, as a string.

{{#invoke:Versions|latest}}

Check whether a version exists

Returns true if a version page with the given title exists, or false otherwise.

{{#invoke:Versions|check|1.3.15.0}}

Inside Template:VersionInfobox

The module is invoked by the template to render navigation buttons.

{{#invoke:Versions|get|{{{version|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}}}}

The version parameter defaults to the current page name if not specified. The module returns a Template:InfoboxNavRow invocation with the previous and next update versions as parameters.

Parameters

latest

<No parameters>

check

1

string

The version string to look up, matching a version page title.

get

1

string

The version string corresponding to a version page title.

Notes

• The third segment of a version must be either 0 or two digits long, so 1.3.5.0 MUST be written as 1.3.05.0. This keeps the module's order consistent with Template:VersionNavbox, which sorts by title.
  • Pages that do not follow the rule are ignored by the module, and their infobox shows an error.
