WLink – Module with functions for strings in context of wikilinks and external links (URL). This module was imported from de:Module:WLink.

All functions expect exactly one unnamed parameter (which should be provided to get a meaningful answer). Whitespace ahead and after content is ignored. HTML Entities would not disturb syntax and might be resolved. The parameter might contain single or double bracketed links which would be extracted if appropriate.

The return value is an empty string (“nothing”), if the parameter value does not fulfil the expectations. If there is a result or the query condition is true, at least one visible character will be returned. The result does not begin or end with a space.

ansiPercent
Convert string by ANSI encoding rather than UTF-8 encoding
Required for some 20th century servers
Optional parameter space – encoding of spaces:
  • space=+ – common for query components
  • space=_ – as for Wikis
  • Default: %20
formatURL
Create bracketed link, if not yet, from URL or domain
  • [http://example.org/about Homepage] yields [http://example.org/about Homepage]
  • http://example.org/about yields [http://example.org/about example.org/about]
  • example.org yields [http://example.org/ example.org]
getArticleBase
Retrieve generic page title, no fragment nor brackets
Use current page title, if omitted.
getBaseTitle
Retrieve last segment in subpage, no fragment
getExtension
Retrieve media extension
Result is downcased (without leading dot).
getFile
Retrieve media page identifier
getFragment
Retrieve original (not decoded) fragment string after #
getLanguage
Retrieve language identifier
getNamespace
Retrieve namespace number
getPlain
Retrieve text with all links replaced by link titles
getProject
Retrieve project identifier within wikifarm (recommendable brief notation)
getTarget
Retrieve first target (wikilink or URL)
getTargetPage
Retrieve first target page (page name or URL of page)
Same as getTarget if no fragment.
getTitle
Retrieve first link title (wikilink or URL), or wikilink target

Functions for Lua modules (API)

[संपादन]

All functions described above can be used by other modules:

local lucky, WLink = pcall( require, "Module:WLink" )
if type( WLink ) == "table" then
    WLink = WLink.WLink()
else
    -- failure; WLink is the error message
    return "<span class=\"error\">" .. WLink .. "</span>"
end

Subsequently there are available:

  • WLink.ansiPercent(story, space)
  • WLink.formatURL()
  • WLink.getArticleBase()
  • WLink.getBaseTitle()
  • WLink.getExtension()
  • WLink.getFile()
  • WLink.getFragment()
    false, if not found; but empty string if empty fragment.
    No leading # in result.
  • WLink.getLanguage()
  • WLink.getNamespace()
  • WLink.getPlain()
  • WLink.getProject()
  • WLink.getTarget()
  • WLink.getTargetPage()
  • WLink.getTitle()
  • WLink.isBracketedLink()
  • WLink.isBracketedURL()
  • WLink.isCategorization()
  • WLink.isExternalLink()
  • WLink.isInterlanguage()
  • WLink.isInterwiki()
  • WLink.isMedia()
  • WLink.isTitledLink()
  • WLink.isValidLink()
  • WLink.isWeblink()
  • WLink.isWikilink()
  • WLink.wikilink()
    Yields table with wikilink components, else false.
    Components might be, if provided:
    • lead – leading colon : present and required, if true
    • project – project interwiki within wikifarm (recommendable brief notation)
    • lang – known language version (downcased)
    • ns – number of namespace
    • space – local canonical name of namespace
    • title – page title as provided; at least empty string
  • WLink.failsafe(atleast)
    1. atleast
      optional
      nil or required version
    returns: string or false

If succeeding, the WLink.get*() return a string, the WLink.is*() true (if no exception mentioned); on failure always false.
