Thanks ! I'll try to add functions to this module (because it can host multiple functions that you can call anytime with {{#invoke}} if I understood well) and more data pages. If I have problems, I'll ask on another thread (I will not put anymore messages on this thread as we strayed quite far from the initial subject)

Just a question: is it possible to put empty fields in Databas/Data ? like a line with only

job1 = 

for example

You're awesome !!! These modules look really good, I'll take the time to analyze them deeper later, but they seem to be really good and useful.

Thank you again for your time

Thanks ! I'll try to learn at least the basics of Lua then, I'll see if it helps

It's fine for me to wait, sorry. I would like an example if possible

By the way, would learning Lua a bit be really helpful ?

It's fine, really. Thank you very much for your time

If it doesn't bother you too much, could you make/show me an example while using Lua ? I don't know how to use Lua, but if it really helps the wiki, I can try to learn the basics.

And I didn't really understood what you wanted me to do with the templates.

On the page linked above, the first arraydefine creates an array with all the unit names. Then I create a switch with the arrayprint, and this arrayprint print "|number = unit" with a line break at the end of each line. I added a value (400) if the unit has no birthday or if I didn't make its page yet.

The numbers are taken from the data page of each unit (cf my first message)

I'll try what you said, and if I can't make it work, I'll update this thread. Thank you very much

I don't have a specific page with all the dates, I have multiple pages (about 350 eventually, when I'll be finished), each with a date. That's why I gathered them in an array so I could use the for loop, if a for loop is possible.

EDIT : changed the wording a little

It's a little complicated, I'll try to be as clear as possible:

I'm working on a game wiki (https://the-alchemist-code.fandom.com, if you need it), with a lot of units/characters.

For each unit, I'm creating a data page (https://the-alchemist-code.fandom.com/wiki/Data:Unit/Sol for example), with a switch function (used in this template (https://the-alchemist-code.fandom.com/wiki/Template:UnitTest))

In these pages, there is a field where I put the birthday of the unit.

Then, with this code (https://the-alchemist-code.fandom.com/wiki/Test), I'm creating an array with each birth date under the format mentioned above.

Now what I want is to have a 'for' loop, which goes through the array and if one unit has its birthday today for example, it would return something like "unit1 celebrates its birthday today!"

Well basically, I have a border and an image, and I would like to have the border in front and the picture in the back, which would look a bit like a framed picture. If it can be done in a gallery, it is even better, but if not just doing it on a page would be fine

And do you know if it is possible to superimpose two images of the same dimensions ? And if it is, how can I do it ?

Yep exactly, that's how you do it

Works perfectly, thank you !

You have two ways to add fields to a template :

{{{parameter1|}}}...{{{parameter2|}}}...
When using the template, you have to write
{{Template|parameter1 = data1|parameter2 = data2}}

The second solution is not to name your parameters :

{{{1|}}}...{{{2|}}}
You then have to write 
{{Template|data1|data2}}

The main difference I noticed is that if you use the first method, you can fill the parameters in the order you want

{{Template|parameter1 = data1|parameter2 = data2}}
is the same as
{{Template|parameter2 = data2|parameter1 = data1}}

The second method requires you to write your parameters in the same order the are numbered in the template

{{Template|data2|data1}}
will put data2 in {{{1|}}} and data2 in {{{2|}}}

I hope I am clear enough for you, if not it is better you give a link to your template as HumansCanWinElves said so that we can help you directly on the wiki
