Module:Iconbox

Documentation for this module may be created at Module:Iconbox/doc

-- Module:Iconbox — entity icon lookup (Arms of God).
-- Reads Data:Icons.json (lowercased display names + slugs -> icon/slug/name).
-- {{#invoke:Iconbox|render|<name-or-slug>}}            -> icon + linked name (default)
-- {{#invoke:Iconbox|render|<name-or-slug>|icononly}}   -> linked icon only
-- 'link' as 2nd arg is a no-op alias of the default; mode=icon == icononly.
-- Unknown entity or missing icon degrades to text-only (never a redlink file).
