This module exports various utility functions for handling page names and title objects.

Detailed documentation

ပလေဝ်ဒါန်

function export.is_title(val)

Returns true if the input is a title object, or false if not. This therefore includes external title objects (i.e. those for pages on other wikis), such as w:Example, unlike is_internal_title below.

export.is_internal_title

ပလေဝ်ဒါန်

function export.is_internal_title(title)

Returns true if the input is an internal title object, which means that it is for a page on Wiktionary, such as example. This therefore excludes external title objects (i.e. those for pages on other wikis), such as w:Example, unlike is_title above.

ပလေဝ်ဒါန်

function export.is_valid_link_target(target)

Returns true if the input is a valid link target, or false if not. This therefore includes link targets to other wikis, such as w:Example, unlike is_valid_page_name below.

export.is_valid_page_name

ပလေဝ်ဒါန်

function export.is_valid_page_name(name)

Returns true if the input is a valid page name Wiktionary, or false if not. This therefore excludes page names on other wikis, such as w:Example, unlike is_valid_link_target above.

function export.get_pagetype(title)

Returns the page type of title in a format which can be used in running text.

export.is_content_page

ပလေဝ်ဒါန်

function export.is_content_page(title)

Returns true if the title object is for a content page, which is a page that is directly part of the dictionary.

export.is_documentation

ပလေဝ်ဒါန်

function export.is_documentation(title)

Returns true if the title object is for a documentation page, or false if not.

function export.is_sandbox(title, include_documentation)

Returns true if the title object is for a sandbox, or false if not.

By default, sandbox documentation pages are excluded, but this can be overridden with the include_documentation parameter.

export.is_testcase_page

ပလေဝ်ဒါန်

function export.is_testcase_page(title, include_documentation)

Returns true if the title object is for a testcase page, or false if not.

By default, testcase documentation pages are excluded, but this can be overridden with the include_documentation parameter.

export.get_namespace_shortcut

ပလေဝ်ဒါန်

function export.get_namespace_shortcut(title)

Returns the namespace shortcut for a given title object, or else the namespace text. For example, a Template: title returns "T", a Module: title returns "MOD", and a User: title returns "User".

function export.get_section(content, names, level)

A helper function to return the content of a page section.

content is raw wikitext, name is the requested section, and level is an optional parameter that specifies the required section heading level. If level is not supplied, then the first section called name is returned. name can either be a string or table of section names. If a table, each name represents a section that has the next as a subsection. For example, {"Spanish", "Noun"} will return the first matching section called "Noun" under a section called "Spanish". These do not have to be at adjacent levels ("Noun" might be L4, while "Spanish" is L2). If level is given, it refers to the last name in the table (i.e. the name of the section to be returned).

The returned section includes all of its subsections. If no matching section is found, return nil.

export.get_current_section

ပလေဝ်ဒါန်

function export.get_current_section()

A function which returns the number of the page section which contains the current #invoke.

export.get_current_L2

ပလေဝ်ဒါန်

function export.get_current_L2()

A function which returns the name of the L2 language section which contains the current #invoke.

--[==[
Loaders for functions in other modules, which overwrite themselves with the target function when called. This ensures modules are only loaded when needed, retains the speed/convenience of locally-declared pre-loaded functions, and has no overhead after the first call, since the target functions are called directly in any subsequent calls.]==]

Loaders for objects, which load data (or some other object) into some variable, which can then be accessed as "foo or get_foo()", where the function get_foo sets the object to "foo" and then returns it. This ensures they are only loaded when needed, and avoids the need to check for the existence of the object each time, since once "foo" has been set, "get_foo" will not be called again.]==]
