Template:InfoboxData/doc

This template is a wrapper for Module:GetInfoboxData.

Description
This template allows for data to be retrieved from another page's infobox. While this template can be used to retrieve data from the page's own infobox, there is a quirk that makes it not recommendable.

Limitation
There is a limit of 100 expensive parser calls per page. Each time you use this template to access different page the usage increases by one, but only per unaccessed page. So accessing [Copper Ore, Copper Bar, and Copper Pipe] would count as 3, while accessing [Copper Bar] 10 different times on the same page will only count as 1.

Quirks

 * When retrieving data from the page's own infobox, if you edit that data in the infobox and publish/save, then sometimes the retrieved data will not get updated. To fix, you can edit and publish the page again without any changes or append ?action=purge to the page url to purge its cache.

Syntax

 * 1 - required
 * The name of the page you want to get data from


 * 2 - required
 * the data field you are trying to retrieve


 * optional params
 * You can pass in any other optional params you want that might alter the infobox data
