	},

Syntax

First, a note on the general syntax: editing these entries is comparable to editing templates on Wikipedia such as infoboxes, but with a few key differences:

• Each "block" is wrapped in curly brackets, with a comma following each entry, as you can see above.
• To add a new entry, add a block like above below the last entry, but before the final } on the bottom of the module that closes off the whole thing.
• Each value after the equals sign has to be surrounded in single quote marks. Here we use single-quotes instead of double quotes. If, however, you want to use an apostrophe, you will need to escape it with a backslash. For example: Wikimedia\'s mission is to make knowledge available to everyone.
• dm_structure is a special key that takes as value and array and this in Lua is done with curly braces {} and it's comma separated to distinct the values from one another.
• Indenting is not strictly necessary but it does look nice.

Parameters
