_buildable, _stars, _upgradable

I can auto the _buildable, I've worked with himeuta before which required us to compile the list of IDs that are craftable or not, might need a small update like shioi on lsc.

_stars, not sure what this is for?

_upgradable, does this mean kai / kai ni? this can be auto'ed as well via aftership_id. If it meant blueprint, it's via mst_shipupgrade.

same with Mathiaszealot, I already mentioned previously that I like the idea. Even though I do not involve myself in editing ShipMax pages, I know their pain, whoever adds new rows to it. And in terms of new ships and equipment, there's not much change in my part except that I'll be copy-pasting a different code pattern each time, but it's still copy-paste.

Still, I have few more concerns:

1

someone anon who comes in, carrying the max ASW for the new ship, attempts to edit Suzutsuki, he only finds an almost empty template, and doesn't know what to do.

We cannot force everyone to read our documentation, even if it was nicely made. New editors does not mean someone who's aspiring to be a better editor and trying to learn the wikia environment. New editors also include people who came here on a whim carrying some extra data. Though they can probably just comment on the article, but this is an additional process, trying to find or waiting for someone with capability to make the change.

In connection to last statement of #1, lets admit it, there's not alot of people who are willing to learn wikia. We're only getting a few good active people just by wikitext as it is. Make it a bit difficult by Lua, I think there will be less people willing to dive in where there's no preview and one wrong character will give you a script syntax error, tagged and categorized that you may be blamed for, which is also not a charm point XD

With that in mind, I personally think this takes away the wikia purpose of being community-built. It somehow becomes like a private site, where you just comment and a select few will be able to update.

Since module edits do not show up on the activity feed, no one will get notified when previously unknown stats or stock-equip are updated. Since we now know that alot in the community are sensitive about seeing main info updates - as seen in the days of "activity feed crisis", and just want to see new info.

Note

these are the first three. I still got IRL work to do and will be gone for some time, but these are my main concerns for now, but we can expect a few more input from me in the future
