Module:Page/doc

This module is meant to allow the goodies listed in mw:Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual § Title objects to be accessed by people who do not want to write a Lua module.

Usage is: {{#invoke:Page|function|parameters}}

Functions

In the usage above, function is one of the following fields or functions for title objects:

• id: The page_id. 0 if the page does not exist.
• interwiki: The interwiki prefix, or the empty string if none.
• namespace: The namespace number.
• fragment: The fragment, or the empty string. May be assigned.
• nsText: The text of the namespace for the page.
• subjectNsText: The text of the subject namespace for the page.
• text: The title of the page, without the namespace or interwiki prefixes.
• prefixedText: The title of the page, with the namespace and interwiki prefixes.
• fullText: The title of the page, with the namespace and interwiki prefixes and the fragment.
• rootText: If this is a subpage, the title of the root page without prefixes. Otherwise, the same as title.text.
• baseText: If this is a subpage, the title of the page it is a subpage of without prefixes. Otherwise, the same as title.text.
• subpageText: If this is a subpage, just the subpage name. Otherwise, the same as title.text.
• canTalk: Whether the page for this title could have a talk page.
• exists: Whether the page exists. Alias for fileExists for Media-namespace titles.
• fileExists: Whether the file exists. For File- and Media-namespace titles, this is expensive.
• isContentPage: Whether this title is in a content namespace.
• isExternal: Whether this title has an interwiki prefix.
• isLocal: Whether this title is in this project. For example, on the English Wikipedia, any other Wikipedia is considered "local" while Wiktionary and such are not.
• isRedirect: Whether this is the title for a page that is a redirect.
• isSpecialPage: Whether this is the title for a possible special page (i.e. a page in the Special: namespace).
• isSubpage: Whether this title is a subpage of some other title.
• isTalkPage: Whether this is a title for a talk page.
• isSubpageOf( title2 ): Whether this title is a subpage of the given title.
• inNamespace( ns ): Whether this title is in the given namespace. Namespaces may be specified by anything that is a key found in mw.site.namespaces.
• inNamespaces( ... ): Whether this title is in any of the given namespaces. Namespaces may be specified by anything that is a key found in mw.site.namespaces.
• hasSubjectNamespace( ns ): Whether this title's subject namespace is in the given namespace. Namespaces may be specified by anything that is a key found in mw.site.namespaces.
• contentModel: The content model for this title, as a string.
• basePageTitle: The same as mw.title.makeTitle( title.namespace, title.baseText ).
• rootPageTitle: The same as mw.title.makeTitle( title.namespace, title.rootText ).
• talkPageTitle: The same as mw.title.makeTitle( mw.site.namespaces[title.namespace].talk.id, title.text ), or nil if this title cannot have a talk page.
• subjectPageTitle: The same as mw.title.makeTitle( mw.site.namespaces[title.namespace].subject.id, title.text ).
• subPageTitle( text ): The same as mw.title.makeTitle( title.namespace, title.text .. '/' .. text ).
• partialUrl(): Returns title.text encoded as it would be in a URL.
• fullUrl( query, proto ): Returns the full URL (with optional query table/string) for this title. proto may be specified to control the scheme of the resulting url: "http", "https", "relative" (the default), or "canonical".
• localUrl( query ): Returns the local URL (with optional query table/string) for this title.
• canonicalUrl( query ): Returns the canonical URL (with optional query table/string) for this title.
• getContent(): Returns the (unparsed) content of the page, or nil if there is no page.

Parameters

Page selection

• id = Page ID of the page to load and evaluate. If this parameter is specified, then other page selection parameters are ignored.
• page = name of the page to load and evaluate. This is parameter "text" passed to mw.title.new or "title" passed to mw.title.makeTitle in the Mediawiki documentation.
  • Leave page blank to call mw.title.getCurrentTitle() and thus default to the page presently being viewed.
• makeTitle = Set this to any nonblank value to call mw.title.makeTitle. Otherwise mw.title.new is called. The functions available for these and for getCurrentTitle() are generally (exactly?) the same.
• namespace = This parameter is passed to new/makeTitle to define what page to open.
• fragment = This parameter is passed to makeTitle per the MediaWiki documentation.
• interwiki = This parameter is passed to makeTitle per the MediaWiki documentation.

Title object function parameters

• p1 is the first parameter passed to the functions within the title object.
  • "title2" for isSubPageOf
  • "ns" for inNamespace
  • (first parameter) of inNameSpaces
  • "ns" for hasSubjectNamespace
  • "text" for subpageTitle
  • "query" for fullUrl, localUrl, canonicalUrl
• p2 is the second parameter passed to the functions within the title object.
  • (second parameter) of inNameSpaces
  • "proto" for fullUrl
• p3 to p9 are collected and passed to the functions, but should only affect inNamespaces.

Postprocessing

• as = Changes how contents of a page is returned when function getContent() is called.
  • "pre" (default) to wrap the page's content inside <pre></pre>.
  • "nowiki" to wrap the page's content inside <nowiki></nowiki>
  • "expand" to expand the page's content
  • "raw" (or any other unrecognized value) to return the page content without any wrapping
