Module:Utilities

Mbeang a̱ka̱fwuop
Neet di̱ Wikipedia

This module exports various general utility functions, which can be used by other modules.

pattern_escape

[jhyuk a̱tyin ka]

lua

Escapes the magic characters used in patterns (Lua's version of regular expressions). For example, lua becomes lua. This is necessary when constructing a pattern involving arbitrary text (e.g. from user input).

format_categories

[jhyuk a̱tyin ka]

lua

Formats a list (table) of category names. The output is a string consisting of all categories with [[Category:...]] applied to each one, and the given sort key added. If the namespace is not the main, Appendix or Reconstruction namespaces, the output will be an empty string unless lua is given. If no sort key is given:

  1. A default one is generated by using lua (if given) or the current subpage name, and by removing hyphens from the beginning (so that suffixes can be sorted without a key).
  2. If a sort key is available for the given language, it is then used to create a sort key that follows the rules for that language.

catfix

[jhyuk a̱tyin ka]

This function adds a "catfix", which is used on language-specific category pages to add language attributes and often script classes to all entry names. The addition of language attributes and script classes makes the entry names display better (using the language- or script-specific styles specified in MediaWiki:Common.css), which is particularly important for non-English languages that do not have consistent font support in browsers.

Language attributes are added for all languages, but script classes are only added for languages with one script listed in their data file, or for languages that have a default script listed in the lua list in Module:utilities/data. Some languages clearly have a default script, but still have other scripts listed in their data file and therefore need their default script to be specified. Others do not have a default script.

  • Serbo-Croatian is regularly written in both the Latin and Cyrillic scripts. Because it uses two scripts, Serbo-Croation cannot have a script class applied to entries in its category pages, as only one script class can be specified at a time.
  • Russian is usually written in the Cyrillic script (Cyrl), but Braille (Brai) is also listed in its data file. So Russian needs an entry in the lua list, so that the Cyrl (Cyrillic) script class will be applied to entries in its category pages.

To find the scripts listed for a language, go to Module:languages and use the search box to find the data file for the language. To find out what a script code means, search the script code in Module:scripts/data

-- 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, returns nil.
