 ==== Modify Parameter Procedure ====
-<code>
+The modify parameter is similar to other types programming procedure.\\
+You call the procedure and it modifies the defined modules parameter.

+|<code>
 modparam("first_module", "module_parameter_text", "new_value");  # Set Text Value
 modparam("second_module", "module_parameter_number", 10000);      # Set Numeric Value
 modparam("second_module", "module_parameter_on", 1);              # Enable Parameter

 ==== Route Functions ====
+I will not go into too much detail here, the scripting methods, functions, and procdedures should be covered elsewhere in this wiki.\\
