Module:HeroList

Description

This module generates an automated table of heroes belonging to a specific faction. It dynamically retrieves localization for hero names, classes, and specializations, and formats the starting skills and spells into a clean, sortable layout.

Usage

The module is invoked via the display function:

{{#invoke:HeroList|display|faction=...|language=...}}

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Example
faction	The name of the faction (as stored in the Translation table).	faction=Necropolis
language	Forces the Wiki language (if omitted, it detects the page suffix).	language=fr

Key Features

• Dynamic Localization: Translates headers (Name, Class, etc.) and hero-specific data (Names, Skills, Spells) based on the provided language.
• Automatic Formatting:
  • Displays hero portraits and icons.
  • Formats specializations with tooltips showing descriptions.
  • Lists starting skills and spells as link-lists with icons.
• Sorting Support: The table uses the sortable class, allowing users to reorder heroes based on columns.
• Data Cleanup: Automatically filters out campaign, tutorial, and internal testing heroes (e.g., cm_fun).

Implementation Example

To display all heroes of the "Necropolis" faction:

== Necropolis Heroes ==
{{#invoke:HeroList|display|faction=Necropolis}}

Technical Notes

• The module queries the Hero table and joins data with the Translation table.
• It uses sortable tables; ensure the MediaWiki "Sortable" extension is active for full functionality.
• Specialization icons are automatically inferred from the HeroSpecialization table and formatted to match faction naming conventions.

Examples

{{#invoke:HeroList|display|faction=Necropolis}}

Portrait	Nom	Classe	Icône Spéc.	Spécialisation	Compétences	Sort(s)

{{#invoke:HeroList|display|faction=Grove|language=ja}}

Portrait	Nom	Classe	Icône Spéc.	Spécialisation	Compétences	Sort(s)
