Point handling in `lpdb_placement`

[hjpalpha]

Currently several wikis store points in placements, but the value is stored in extradata and not unified across wikis (e.g. points, pointsprize and prizepoints just to name a few). I see the following 3 options we can take (feel free to suggest others)

• Option 1: still store it in extradata, but decide on one unique name we want to use
• Option 2: Add an additional key for it in lpdb that stores a json (something along the lines of {"points":10, "pointsname":"EPT Global Points", "points2":1, "points2name":"some other points from the same placement") which would allow to store the point values as well as the name of the points
• Option 3: Add an additional key (which only allows number values) so that the points value can be stored. In addition further point values (points2/3/4/...) would have to be stored in extradata (in case there are placements which give points to several standings)

How about adding scoreboard like in standing?

i probably should have formulated it differently, the points i am talking about are the points one earns from a placement towards some bigger ranking. like e.g. points earned due to winning esl open cups that then count towards several rankings for the qualification to IEM Katowice https://liquipedia.net/starcraft2/ESL_Pro_Tour/2021/22/Standings

as i understand it scoreboard would rather be for points accumulated in groups that the lead to a certain placement

Could use a different name, but the concept can be the same.

i am okay with that^^

I like Option 2 regardless of how we name fields within there. Moving points/pointsname to its own key reduces conflicts with Template:Infobox_league and Template:TeamCard (potentially Template:ParticipantTable) as extradata currently has to be (re)set several times.
