Module:HeroData/navGive feedback

Overview

Generates hero navigation cards

Functions

get_hero_nav_cards

For Template:Hero Navbox on Heroes, individual hero pages like Abrams, and the home page.

Examples

First with debug_mode on, to help visualize what the output's source looks like.

{{#invoke:HeroData/nav|get_hero_nav_cards
|text_size=13
|card_size=88
|in_herolabs=false
|debug_mode=true
}}

First parameter must be Current or Upcoming

Now with debug_mode defaulted to false (off) to see actual visual output.

{{#invoke:HeroData/nav|get_hero_nav_cards
|text_size=13
|card_size=88
|in_herolabs=false
}}

First parameter must be Current or Upcoming

Parameters

• text_size - Font size of the hero name
• card_size - Size of the hero card
• in_herolabs - Get hero labs heroes (there are none at the moment)
• debug_mode - (OPTIONAL) Defaults to false. With true, the output is raw wikitext source that isn't processed, allowing to see more clearly what is ran.

debug_mode is the only optional parameter. All other parameters are required. Template:Hero card2 utilizes this with some default values, see there for suggested values.

get_hero_roster

For Template:Roster on Heroes, generate a list using Template:HeroRosterCard.

get_hero_bulletpoints

For navboxes such as Template:Quotes Navbox, generate a bulletpoint list of heroes.

Add the name of a subpage to link to specific subpages. It will still display only the hero name but link to the subpage instead.

Add variable "no_redlinks=true" to hide red links (non-existent pages).

Examples

{{#invoke:HeroData/nav|get_hero_bulletpoints}}

To link to "/Movement" subpages:

{{#invoke:HeroData/nav|get_hero_bulletpoints|Movement}}

Hide redlinks:

{{#invoke:HeroData/nav|get_hero_bulletpoints|Movement|no_redlinks=true}}
