explosions

hi! i'm new to this wiki but i am not new to wikis. i think the system used for this template — which involves tons of subpages and #switches — is a bit unnecessarily overcomplicated. it also has to be updated every time a new datum is entered (rather than just editing the [Body]/Data infobox). i've made a replacement using the #explode string function, which can be viewed in my sandbox. here's the content:

{{#explode:{{#explode:{{msgnw::{{{1|}}}/Data}}|{{{2|}}}=|1}}|||0}}

transclusion works like this:

{{:User:Apollo/sandbox|Moho|orbinc}}
{{:User:Apollo/sandbox|Eve|soi}}

yields:

7
Error: String exceeds 1,000 character limit.

etc. feel free to test it out with any other celestial body/parameter. i just wanted to ask whether this would be preferable before going ahead and implementing it in place of this template. especially since i'm new around here! thanks ~ Apollo [talk] 00:11, 21 August 2013 (CDT)
