Minor code changes[edit]

  1. {{!}} is only needed inside of functions like #if. They can be replaced with normal pipes.
  2. A lot of #ifeq can be simplified. Example: {{#ifeq:{{{notes|}}}|true|!!Notes}} can be reduced to {{#if:{{{notes|}}}|!!Notes}}. This way as long as "notes" is any value it will work; not much need to be strict about the input in my opinion.
  3. {{#if:{{{round1notes|}}}|{{{round1notes}}}}} can be reduced to just {{{round1notes|}}}; unless you intended it to be {{#if:{{{notes|}}}|{{{round1notes}}}}} to hide all notes if "notes" isn't set. I assume you want the latter because currently without any notes then you have an empty column.
    • Additionally, it should be possible to use mw:Extension:Variables for notes. For instance, doing {{#vardefine:notes|{{#if:{{{round1notes|}}}{{{round2notes|}}}etc...|y}}}} then "notes" can be removed altogether and {{#if:{{{notes|}}}... can be replaced with {{#if:{{#var:notes|}}...

I have an edit put together with the above suggestions if you want them. --CanvasK (talk) 15:53, July 8, 2021 (EDT)

  1. Thanks!
  2. Went with the variable method, thanks!
  3. Sometimes, a "notes" cell will be left blank, but others will have content; if I don't have that #if function there, then in that scenario it simply displays the name of the parameter, which is not what we want.

For #3 you want to put the final double pipes in the #if ({{!}}{{!}} in this case), otherwise you have a column of empty cells if there are no notes. You can also replace {{#ifeq:{{{#var:notes|}}}|y|5|4}} with {{#if:{{{#var:notes|}}}|5|4}} because "notes" will always either be "y" or nothing, making a check for the only possible option pointless. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CanvasK (talkcontribs) 16:42, July 8, 2021
