Module:Monthly Challenge/data/doc

This module provides data for the relevant months's Monthly Challenge, and should be based on pages nominated at Community collaboration/Monthly Challenge/Nominations. Not all works are suitable for the challenge and should be discussed prior to addition.

A module like this must exist for every month that has a MC.

Adding works
Add works in the Monthly Challenge to the  subtable, with a section for each age of the work (e.g.   is new works for this month,   is works rolled over once, and so on). can be used for "immortal" works that are present until completion.

Thus, works from the previous MC that are rolling over should be copied into this month's data table, and have their keys increased by one.

Works are keyed using the index name (without the Index: prefix)

Fields:
 * The year
 * The display title
 * An author or authors. Can be a list of multiple authors. For each author:
 * will have the dates hidden for display
 * will use "Override Name" as the display and "Author Name" as the link targer
 * A page to link instead of the author (e.g. for periodicals where there is no single author)
 * A string or table of subjects. If any of these matches the sprint for a listing, it will be highlighted
 * The cover image - if a number, that page of the file is used, if not, it's assumed to be a filename (you must use this option if the index is not a PDF or DJVU)
 * or  to override automatic short work detection based on page count. Must be provided for an image-based index (or it will be considered normal)
 * is the status for the work at the start of the month,  is the status at the end of the month. Options are ,  ,  . If given, the final status will be used for the current position in the table, even if different to the index page. This is so sub-works can be tracked separately, and also so we can "freeze" the month data at the end of the month.

Testing
When updating, remember to preview the relevant Monthly Challenge page (e.g. ) using the button at the bottom of the edit box.

Categorization
There used to be a need to categorise indexes into categories like Category:Monthly Challenge (July 2024) for inclusion in the statistics. This is no longer necessary, technically speaking, but may still be helpful from an administrative perspective.
