Usage
-- Load data only once per page. (Do no use require())
local AnimalData = mw.loadData("Module:AnimalData")
-- Assert that some data was received, otherwise throw an error.
assert(AnimalData.animals, "Failed to load data from Module:AnimalData!")
-- You may then use data from this module in your script. For example:
local agoutiData = AnimalData.animals["Agouti"]
-- Or to iterate over the table, you can do this:
for animalName, data in pairs(AnimalData.animals) do
-- animalName now contains the name of the animal in English.
-- data is the data table for that animal.
end
