Alright, so this is one of those questions where I'm SURE there's an answer out there and I'm just failing to successfully put the right google search together, but I'll ask here anyways:

I'm working with a wikia that handles video game data. A lot of pages are templates for items in the game. So, for example, there are a bunch of different guns, with each gun using the same template to show its damage, fire rate, magazine size, and so on.

Some other pages reference these numbers. For example, we have a page called Weapon Comparison for comparing the stats on each weapon. Right now these two things are completely independent - If I change the damage of Rifle A on the Rifle A page, I still have to manually update the data on the Weapon Comparison page as well.

I was curious if there was a way to either use the Variables extension or something similar to have a line like on the Rifle A page and then on the Weapon Comparison page list the damage for Rifle A as something like. Obviously that exact syntax doesn't work, but I was curious if there way to accomplish this.

Even if this exact implementation doesn't work, I'm curious if anybody else has an implementation of something similar that they think will suit this purpose. I figure there may also be a way to specifically involve Infoboxes here since those are one-per-page, but I also am not sure of how
