Module:ExperimentalNavplate

--[[This Mess is an experimental module for seeing if we can create a navplate that populates itself as an ordered, nested list.

It works by getting all of the pages from the category (in this example, Stanton) including their infobox data through a single DPLlua request. It then parses these into categories and assigns a sort order. These lists are then iterated through to find the objects that orbit the star, objects that orbit those objects, etc. Those lists are then sorted by their orbit location (a new required field) and then semantic precedence defined by a precedence score. As this sorting goes on, a string is built up to generate the list.]]--
