Module:ModuleShowVariantsOrSingle

Documentation for this module may be created at Module:ModuleShowVariantsOrSingle/doc

------------------------------------
-- Modules can have variants, or they can be one of a kind.
-- It doesn't make sense to show all the variant fluff if a module is one of a kind.
-- This script shows or hides all that variant info based on how many unique modules are defined,
-- no having to manually pick a template yourself!
