Module:CRTBrandList: Difference between revisions

Update to query brands directly from CRT model pages (like AVBrandList) instead of requiring brand category pages - ensures all CRT brands appear (via update-page on MediaWiki MCP Server)
Tag: Reverted
Fix: Use format=plainlist instead of broadtable to handle large result sets efficiently - broadtable was causing truncation with 2000+ CRT models (via update-page on MediaWiki MCP Server)
