• [[BMP-2]] ({{wikidata|properties|page=BMP-2|P495}})
• BMP-2 (Soviet Union)

Make a template like Template:Annotated link, for country of origin?

Done {{lwc}} {{Link with country}}

• Panther tank – (Nazi Germany)
• Firestreak – (United Kingdom)
• Mallet
• Bernard Montgomery – (United Kingdom)
• NLAW – (Sweden, United Kingdom)
• Tomahawk (missile) – (United States)
• HMMWV – (United States)
• [[{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]

To do

Provide error messages, warnings

Should be blank result for bare template, not "[[{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]]"

Make the lwc template use shorter names? Embedding the "Country name" template seems ok for one country, but multiple?

Breaks on multiple, and non-standard names like "Nazi Germany".

• United States
• China
• ...

• Write module to cope with multiple country results, pipe all to module and call module behind country name for each?
• Null result for non standard names - keep original

countries = { "China", "Russia", "Iran", "Democratic People's Republic of Korea"}for i = 1, #countries do  print(countries[i])  end

• Problem, need to strip spaces

List = ("One, two, three")print(List)Words = {}for w in (List .. ","):gmatch("([^,]*),") do     table.insert(Words, w) endfor i = 1, #Words do  print(Words[i])endlocal function split_with_comma(str)  local fields = {}  for field in str:gmatch('([^,]+)') do    fields[#fields+1] = field  end  return fieldsendfunction ltrim(s)  return s:match'^%s*(.*)'endarray = split_with_comma(List)for i = 1, #array do  print(ltrim(array[i]))endcommastring = ""for i = 1, #array-1 do  commastring = commastring .. ltrim(array[i]) ..
