Purpose edit

This is an extension for infobox templates to describe local impacts for mines, gas fields, pipeline, or other infrastructure projects where those impacts are particularly noted in scholarly or news literature about the project. The parent template must have a 'module' field to embed the extension.

Note: Some editors have expressed concern that these fields should eventually be included in the parent template, because cascading templates are not well supported by the visual editor.
