Module:Engineers

Documentation for this module may be created at Module:Engineers/doc

-- Module:Engineers
-- Reads canonical Engineer facts from Module:Data/Engineers/<Name> (JSON
-- content-model pages) and formats them for three consumers: an Engineer's
-- own infobox (via Template:Engineer infobox), List of Engineers, and
-- Engineer Capability Comparison. One record, one module, three consumers
-- -- see Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Adding Structured Data.
--
-- Adding a new engineer: create Module:Data/Engineers/<Name> in the same
-- shape as the existing four, then append the name to
-- Module:Data/Engineers/index. Don't edit this module unless you're
-- changing the schema itself.
