Research direction

The issue describes a MediaWiki template for displaying test results. Start by examining the existing 8values test results page to understand the data structure. Look for where results are generated and how they can be formatted into a template. Check if there are any existing templates or examples in the repository. The goal is to create a template that can be used on English Wikipedia, so test by integrating it into a user profile simulation.

Description

Today, I finished work on a MediaWiki template that displays the results of an 8values test, using only the variables provided on the results page:

{{8values|e=85.9|d=66.7|g=71.5|s=86.7|width=300}}

This provides a more flexible (and accessible) alternative to simply uploading the results as a PNG file (like this bloke did), which clogs Wikimedia Commons with an image of dubious reusability that's likely to only ever appear on one page—the user page of its uploader.

Note that the template is only usable on English Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org), which isn't too limiting localisation-wise considering the 8values test only exists in English (as of this writing, that is).
