Adding notes

[edit]

Firstly, familiarize yourself with the format of the notes table:

	local notes = {
		dark		= {  'D',			'a [[dark match]]'										},
		pre			= {  'P',			'broadcast on the pre-show'								},
		aewd		= { 'AD',	taped ..'<i>[[AEW Dark|Dark]]</i>'								},
		aewde		= { 'DE',	taped ..'<i>[[AEW Dark: Elevation|Dark: Elevation]]</i>'		},
		bti	        = {  'B',	taped ..'<i>[[Before the Impact]]</i>'				         	},
		ffa			= {  'F',	 live ..'<i>[[WWE Free for All|Free for All]]</i>'				},
		fusion		= { 'FT',	taped ..'<i>[[MLW Fusion|Fusion]]</i>'							},
		fusionlive	= {  'F',	 live ..'<i>[[MLW Fusion|Fusion]]</i>'							},
		heat		= {  'H',	 live ..'<i>[[WWE Heat|Sunday Night Heat]]</i>'					},
		mem 		= {'MEM',	taped ..'<i>Main Event Mondays</i>'					            },
		regnxt		= {  'N',	taped ..'<i>[[WWE NXT|NXT]]</i>'								},
		regnxtuk	= { 'UK',	taped ..'<i>[[WWE NXT UK|NXT UK]]</i>'							},
		slam		= {  'S',	 live ..'<i>[[WWF Sunday Night Slam|Sunday Night Slam]]</i>'	},
		wcwme		= { 'ME',	 live ..'<i>[[WCW Main Event|Main Event]]</i>'					},
		wcwsn		= { 'SN',	 live ..'<i>[[WCW Saturday Night|Saturday Night]]</i>'			},
		xplosion	= {  'X',	taped ..'<i>[[Impact! Xplosion|Xplosion]]</i>'					}
	}

The notes table has been aligned to be easier to understand for editors inexperienced with Lua. Let's break it down further, with a specific example:

		heat		= {  'H',	 live ..'<i>[[WWE Heat|Sunday Night Heat]]</i>'					},
  • heat is the note value (e.g., |note1=heat)
  • H is the note symbol that appears beside the match number
  • The latter entry is the explanation in the Key. There are live (aired prior to the pay-per-view) and taped (recorded for future broadcast) preset options. This should include a wikilink to the program, enclosed by italic HTML tags (<i></i>).

When adding a note, there are a few things to keep in mind:

  • The note value should be short, yet comprehensible. Use an abbreviation or acronym of the program. If the resulting value is common and there is potential for overlap, consider including the acronym of the promotion.
  • The note symbol should be limited to one or two characters. If there is potential overlap with other symbols in the same results table, then adjust the symbol accordingly. Avoid using "D" or "P" as they are generalized notes for dark match and pre-show, respectively.
