Usage
- Takes two parameters
- The first parameter is the format request. Either "img", "short" or "long" (the long name is returned by default).
- The second parameter is the input string to be verified or corrected.
Will return the input string linked to Naming Conventions if no matches are found.
- e.g.
{{Name|long|wjhbvkwfk}}produces "wjhbvkwfk".
Examples
{{Name|img|ArmA 2}}produces "arma2"{{Name|short|arma:arc}}produces "Arma 2:ACR" and correctly interprets a possible typo.{{Name|long|ArmA 2: OFP: E}}produces "Operation Flashpoint: Elite"{{Name|doesn't actually matter if we want the long name|A1 Zues}}produces "Arma 3: Zeus" even though "Zeus" is both spelled incorrectly and is an Arma 3 DLC!
- etc. - You get the idea :-)
In other words, it takes a multitude of possible (slightly and wildly incorrect) interpretations (including several possible typos) of how BI games should be named, and returns the conventionally correct version required, depending on circumstance.
