Auto-generating production history
I have solved a problem. The code needs cleaning up and the output needs to be formatted better, but as a proof of concept, it's not a bad start.
Given a developer name and a known list of games the developer has worked on, I can retreive the role he/she played during each game's development.
e.g. Mie Kumagai (Sandbox, User:Black Squirrel/Sandbox3)
- Sandbox –
- User:Black Squirrel/Sandbox3 –
cons:
- it's not clean or efficient (i.e. there may be other extensions better suited to this task)
- every usage of Creditstable will need to be changed
- it's complicated to explain. Basically I'm generating variables called CREDITS##NAME and transcluding big chunks of wiki pages
