-* Typos by the poster should have <pre style="width: fit-content">{{sic}}</pre> added so that readers know it was intentionally written verbosely by the wiki
-* While the written portion should be 1:1, sometimes an Ability name is old, or hyperlinks in the PageRef template calls are unnecessarily broken
-** For the line "Shadow Explosion now deals ...", note that the ability is now called "Shadow Transformation", meaning it was not picked up by the backend to have it be <pre style="width: fit-content">"{{PageRef|Shadow Transformation}} now deals...</pre>, as such, edit the line in the data page (browse changelog data pages at [[Changelog_Data]] (WIP)) to be <pre style="width: fit-content">"{{PageRef|Shadow Transformation|alt=Shadow Explosion}} now deals..."</pre>
-** This will then appear as {{PageRef|Shadow Transformation|Shadow Explosion}}, allowing the icon and hyperlink to [[Shadow Transformation]] page to function, while still showing it 1:1 as "Shadow Explosion"

-=What are tags?=
+===Parameters===
-Each line in a changelog is parsed to have certain tags assigned to it. For example, if the forum post looks like
+* '''tag''' - Tag to search
-Heroes:
+* '''last_or_first''' - Named optional - Must be ''last'' or ''first'' - defaults to ''last'' - Retrieves last or first date
-- Abrams: Shoulder Bash blah blah
-The "Abrams: Shoulder Bash blah blah" line will be assigned tags, 'Shoulder Bash' since its named explicitly, and therefore 'Abilities', 'Abrams', and 'Heroes'. This will make this line added to all changelogs on pages [[Abrams/Update history]], [[Shoulder Bash/Update history]], [[Abilities/Update history]], and [[Heroes/Update history]].
+===Examples===
+Example using ''last''
+<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Changelog|get_last_updated|Basic Magazine}}</nowiki></code>
-Similarly, for the line "Warp Stone: Distance traveled blah blah", the tags assigned would be 'Warp Stone' since its named explicitly, along with the tags 'Items' and 'Weapon Items'.
+Outputs
-=Todo=
+{{#invoke:Changelog|get_last_updated|Basic Magazine}}
-<b>Backend</b>
-* Replace hyphens with asterisk to be bullet pointed by wikitext
-* Output list of all group-tags (Heroes, Abilities, Weapon Items, etc.)
+Example using ''first''
-* Add functionality for a 'Weapon' tag maybe?
+<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Changelog|get_last_updated|Basic Magazine|last_or_first=first}}</nowiki></code>
-* Don't remove the prefix "Mo & Krill: " from lines such as "No longer listed as a recommended new player hero" as it prevents the ability to determine the hero on pages other than Mo and Krill/Update history. Is this prefix removal necessary?
-* Switch <pre style="width: fit-content">{{Icon}} with {{PageRef}}</pre>
+Outputs
-* Find a non-inefficient way to expand {Icon}/{PageRef} templates for the icon and reference
-* Finish tag assignment logic to fix instances of "- Charge Shot damage increased from 95 to 105" only being assigned tags 'Heroes' and 'Grey Talon' but not 'Charge Shot' or 'Abilities'.
-<b>Frontend</b>
+{{#invoke:Changelog|get_last_updated|Basic Magazine|last_or_first=first}}
-* <i>Create a more generic icon template [[Template:PageRef]] for svg's with color inverting depending on light/dark mode, only parameter should be the entity name like 'Abrams', 'Hook', or 'Basic Magazine'.</i>
-* Make a navbar for group-tags to be presented on [[Changelogs]]
-** Make a lua function to retrieve list of group-tags sent to the nav-bar, i.e. Heroes, Abilities, Items, Weapon Items, etc.
-** Navbar will go to pages <group_tag>/Update history like [[Heroes/Update history]], [[Abilities/Update history]], [[Items/Update history]], etc.
-* Make a lua function to retrieve list of tags for [[Changelog Tags]], no nav bar needed, this page is only really useful for editors, not viewers
