Documentation [edit]

This is a data module to be used with mw.loadData. It parses the regular text list and returns the formatted data structure. This is meant to be an easy way to keep external lists in sync with the wiki.

See the comments at the top for how to modify the list. Only edit between the marked lines. Please check for errors before saving.

If changes to functionality are needed, please contact an administrator.

The above documentation is transcluded from Module:Government/list/doc.

--The list must follow this format:
--  *Game/category blocks separated by a series of at least one hyphen on its own line
--  *Game/category name on its own line at the beginning of the block
--  *Each position on its own line as follows:
--     position name - position holder(s) separated by a comma and space
--  *Do not pluralize position names, and don't use abbreviations. These are added in Module:Government.
--  *Empty lines can be used for readability, they will be ignored
--To test changes, type =p in the console below and press Enter. It should return "table".

--only edit below the following line
