Template:Dv Comparison/doc

For use with templates that both (1) pull user-submitted data from a creature's page, and (2) pull data from our database generated from the game files.

This template compares the page-sourced values with the game-sourced values and outputs a variable with  and optionally flags mismatched data.

Usage

 * " Page Data " is the page-sourced data, usually defined within a template such as the Infobox.
 * " Dv Path " is the Lua path within Module:Dv/data.
 * " Output Variable " is the name of the output variable your template can call by using
 * " Flag " is optional. "Yes" will compare the data and flag for a mismatch. "No" will just pull the value from whichever source it may exist.
 * " Creature " is optional. By default, the values will be compared for the creature currently on the page via . If "creature" is defined, it will instead compare the value with the specified creature.

Example

  and  are compared, and if different,  will be flagged  with a maintenance category. Then the output can be later called with.
