Usage
{{#invoke:DartsRankings/data/PDC Rankings|function_name}}
The template {{PDC Rankings}} is meant to be used on the infoboxes of each player, which automatically updates their OoM ranking when this page is updated. The name typed in the first argument (eg {{PDC Rankings|Michael van Gerwen}} ) should match the spelling - including lack of accent marks - with the PDC website. New players should be added at Module:DartsRankings/data/PDC Players with the appropriate naming conventions.
Updating
The main template page is not meant to be updated. The rankings should be updated at Module:DartsRankings/data/PDC Rankings.
To update the rankings:
- Adjust the day and month (along with the year if necessary) of the current rankings.
- Adjust the day and month (along with the year if necessary) of the previous rankings (the old current date).
- Copy and paste the rankings from "data.rankings" to "rankingsOld" section (the lower one).
- Paste in the new rankings data to the "data.rankings" section (upper one).
Generating rankings code
All positions can be quickly updated using a spreadsheet. For example, after copying the entire ranking list from [1], the following formula can be used in an external spreadsheet to generate the code necessary to update the data page (given the rankings begin in cell A1):
= "{ """&B1&""" , "&A1&" , """&C1&""" },"
Then you can copy & past all 128+ rows into the rankings module.
