Module:IntrawikiCite

Documentation for this module may be created at Module:IntrawikiCite/doc

-- This module was designed for creating in-universe citations that reference other pages on the wiki which refer to in-universe documents, pages, and other similar materials.
-- It builds citations like those used in the real world, but does so in a universe-friendly way. We use checks to see if certain keys exist to dynamically shape the data and how it's cited. In the structure document below, any item preceeded by a ">" character represents a portion of data that may not always exist.
