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 first rerun date, the next rerun date, total number of reruns, and the current active Grand Hero Battle.

The only function, main, takes three parameters, each of them corresponding to a year, a month number, and a day of a month, where the full date represents the first rerun date of a Grand Hero Battle.

{{#invoke:GhbRotation|main|2018|02|10}}

This outputs:

Script error: The function "main" does not exist.

--[[
Functions for each Grand Hero Battle. Lloyd was the first rotation GHB, on
9 February 2018, so he is number 0; the others follow on up to 6 (Ursula).
Then, call the main functions down below.
