Module:Codex

Renders Codex records from Data:Codex.json on index and detail pages.

• infobox — infobox for one record (used via Template:Codex infobox)
• index — sortable index table on Codex
• body / crossRefs — per-section renderers invoked from detail pages

Bot-published: the module and its Data: page are regenerated on re-publish. Restyle via the per-section templates rather than editing page wikitext.

-- Module:Codex — per-category shim + lore lookup (Arms of God).
-- Category rendering binds to Module:Core like every other shim. The extra
-- `lore` entry point powers the '== Lore ==' section on weapon / enemy /
-- character / codex pages: it finds the matching codex record at render
-- time, so a dev edit to Data:Codex.json updates every entity page on
-- purge.
--
--   {{#invoke:Codex|lore|<id-or-name>}}            — cross-category match
--   {{#invoke:Codex|lore|<id-or-name>|<Category>}} — category-scoped; falls
--       back to the entity's own `description` when no codex entry matches.
