 | This Lua module is used in MediaWiki:Wantedpages-summary. Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Wikipedia user interface. To avoid major disruption, any changes should be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Please discuss changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | This module depends on the following other modules: |
Usage from wikitext
This module is not designed be used directly from wikitext even though forSee does take an initial frame argument and could potentially be used from wikitext, e.g.:
{{hatnote|PREFIX {{#invoke:Hatnote list|forSee|{{tl|For}}|Module:For|{{tl|About}}|Module:About}} POSTFIX}}→
Usage from Lua
To call the module, use
local mHatList = require('Module:Hatnote list')
or similar, then access its methods through the mHatList variable (or whatever was used).
andList
andList takes a list in table form, and returns
Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag</ref>a string with the list separated with "and" and commas as appropriate.
orList
orList takes a list in table form, and returns a string with the list separated with "or" and commas as appropriate.
forSee
_forSee takes three arguments: a table of trimmed arguments with blanks removed, a "from" number with the index to start at, and an options table, and returns a string with a number of "For X, see [[Y]]" sentences. The links are formatted using the methods from Module:Hatnote.
As a convenience, the forSee method (without the leading underscore) takes the same arguments except with a frame instead of an args table, using getArgs() from Module:Arguments to preprocess the arguments.
