: is there something wrong with [[Template:Line chart]]? [[User:Frietjes|Frietjes]] ([[User talk:Frietjes|talk]]) 14:01, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
::{{re|Frietjes}} unfortunately, yes. this template is very impressive, but the limitations of templating system makes it difficult to use: specifically having to pass the parameters as "S12V37 = 44" makes it not editor-friendly. Lua can help alleviate this difficulty - see how more convenient it is to fill in the values for this module ( 44 : 46 : 48 : 12 vs. "S02V01 = 44 | S02V02 = 46 | S02V03 = 48 | S02V04 = 12") the module even lets you copy values ''almost'' directly from a spreadsheet (you'll need to "export" it to [[Comma-separated values|CSV]] format), simply by setting the "delimiter" to comma. please see [[Wikipedia:Lua requests#overhaul Module:Chart]]. also, the template code is so complex that it's practically unmaintainable - for instance, see [[Special:diff/585979493|this attempt]], while the module doesn't really care: the same code handles a single data series with 3 values, or 57 series with 82 values each. peace - [[User:קיפודנחש|קיפודנחש (aka kipod)]] ([[User talk:קיפודנחש|talk]]) 23:02, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
::Now there is: it was killed. Fortunately survived by {{tl|Graph}}, which does line charts too. [[User:Guarapiranga|— 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚]] ([[User talk:Guarapiranga|talk]]) 01:03, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
