- I agree that qualifiers look better and are easier to edit. I'll convert Hats to use that and remove the old syntax support from the module.
- I also agree that such syntax can't prevent simple errors, and that was my main concern for going this rout - but I saw no cleaner approach.
- Indeed, there need to be an Item page as well as updating the proper table (if it's an equip-able item). Not much different than the images table, which needs to be updated separately.
- At least, if someone makes an error which causes the table to become incorrect Lua code, the editor refuses to save the changes by default! (since it's in the Module namespace).
- I've added documentation to the Module. For now it's embedded as a huge comment at the top. But I've sent a support ticket to FANDOM to figure out why a separate "/doc" page doesn't work like it should.
- I also thought about the "Stat reducing" lists :-) I do plan to add support to it, but after the rest is done and stabilized. It won't be *too* difficult, just some fiddling around with a flag which controls the direction of the sort in the functions handling the actual comparisons.
Other than that: I went ahead and added Home Comforts and Affiliations. One by one we'll get them all...
I'd like to know what people think of the "fancy" display mode vs. the original. I don't want to necessarily maintain two styles if not needed, and the "fancy" style is there to help with really long lines (we'll get to those with Companions ans Spouses).
