Template:Max quest favor

Usage

This template is a phantom template used in DPL calls. It's specially designed to work with {{DPL category sum}}, so it can't be used to get the max favor of quests by placing it directly as a phantom template of the quest template.

{{Max quest favor
  |favor=
  |solo only=
  |shares favor=
  |no output=
}}

It calculates the max favor of a quest using the following parameters:

• |favor=
• |solo only=
• |shares favor=

If |shares favor= is empty or not defined, then the result of the template will be a number with the max favor (usually {{{favor}}} * 3, unless a solo quest).
If |shares favor= contains something, then the result will be the max favor number followed by a "|xQuest name=0". This ensures that this quest's favor is counted only once by the template {{DPL category sum}} when both the heroic version and the epic version appear in the DPL result set. This functionality makes the template unusable as a phantom template for purposes other than adding favor. (Still can be used as a normal template if "shares favor" is ignored).

For normal template use, this template also contains a parameter |no output= that takes a boolean value (true, false, 1, 0) and suppresses the output.
The template also stores the max favor value in the variable {{#var: max_favor}}, so in case the output is suppressed, this is the only result.

Examples

• When |solo only= is true, max favor is simply |favor=.

{{Max quest favor
 | favor = 2
 | solo only = yes
 | shares favor =
 | no output =
}}

2

• When |solo only= is not true, max favor is {{{favor}}}*3.

{{Max quest favor
 | favor = 6
 | solo only =
 | shares favor =
 | no output =
}}

18

• When |shares favor= contains something (not for normal use), then the output contains a hack for DPL.

{{Max quest favor
 | favor = 6
 | solo only =
 | shares favor = A Legend Revisited
 | no output =
}}

18|xA Legend Revisited=0

• The below code does the following:
  1. It selects every level 14 and level 24 quest.
  2. It restricts the selection to the quests that actually use the template {{Quest}}
  3. It passes all the parameters of template {{Quest}} to {{Max quest favor}}.
  4. It declares that the output should follow the format strictly defined by the user (and not lists or tables)
  5. It defines the format of the output
     1. The output will start with "{{Add|prefix=x"
     2. Before each result's output, the " |x<name of the page>=" will be added.
     3. After each result's output nothing will be added
     4. At the end of the output, "}}" will be added.
• This would pass every favor number as a parameter to a template {{Add}}.

{{#dpl:
 | category = Level 14 quests¦Level 24 quests
 | uses = Template:Quest
 | include = {Quest¦Max quest favor}
 | mode = userformat
 | listseparators = {{Add{{!}}prefix=x,{{!}}x%PAGE%=,,}}
}}
