Notes
Only usable on variables that are integers, strings, or floats (meaning not dictionaries/hashes or arrays/lists).
If using sig_figs parameter, ensure the value is a float.
If using localize parameter, ensure the value is a string. See Data:HeroData.json, you will notice that hero_astro's "Lore" variable has the value "hero_astro_lore". This key is then sent to Module:Lang which checks for it in Data:Lang_en.json (or a different language).
