Well there has to be a beginning.

There could be endless other templates of specific use, but you need a flexible way to look up data at all. This is in principle the smallest possible atomic command to get a value based on a value in another column.

It would be similar to saying. Its just that you can make it any key or any data. Making that shorter template becomes trivial one liner.

I am making the other cases now that help with getting a row at a time, or getting a transcoded set of rows.

In an info box you could say and end up with all the #vars about if its pvp or other things automatically. There comes a saturation point where its too much to keep updating or adding.

There used to be automated processes people would run to update the wiki from the game, generating specific content. This is that but the transform is at the wiki level under control of the wiki editor. That's a whole new world and an order of magnitude more manageable than content tagging SMW.
