Module:GhbRotation

For use on Grand Hero Battle and possibly other locations later on. This module can be used to output Grand Hero Battle data, including the next rerun date, total number of reruns, and the current active Grand Hero Battle. Currently relevant only to the seven Grand Hero Battles in rotation: Lloyd, Michalis, Xander, Narcian, Navarre, Robin (female), and Ursula.

Only one parameter is used, the name of the relevant Grand Hero Battle:

{{#invoke:GhbRotation|Michalis}}

This outputs:

Rerun in rotation 271 times to date
Next rerun: April 30, 2023
