Jump to navigationJump to search
This Lua module is used in system messages, and on approximately 2,420,000 pages, or roughly 35169% of all pages. Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Wikipedia user interface. To avoid major disruption and server load, 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. |
Template loop detected: Template:Module other This module finds whether a given namespace can have subpages.
Usage
From wikitext
From wikitext this module must be used via the {{ns has subpages}} template. Please see the template page for documentation.
From Lua
Usually Lua modules should use mw.site.namespaces[namespace].hasSubpages
rather than this module. But if you have a good reason, it can be accessed like this:
Load the module: <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> local mNsHasSubpages = require('Module:Ns has subpages') </syntaxhighlight>
The subpage information can be found with the ._main function: <syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> mNsHasSubpages._main(ns, frame) </syntaxhighlight>
- ns is the namespace name, number, or a page name. It defaults to the current namespace.
- frame is a frame object with which we can call frame:callParserFunction if necessary. This is optional, and intended for internal use.
-- This module implements [[Template:Ns has subpages]]. -- While the template is fairly simple, this information is made available to -- Lua directly, so using a module means that we don't have to update the -- template as new namespaces are added. local p = {} function p._main(ns, frame) -- Get the current namespace if we were not passed one. if not ns then ns = mw.title.getCurrentTitle().namespace end -- Look up the namespace table from mw.site.namespaces. This should work -- for a majority of cases. local nsTable = mw.site.namespaces[ns] -- Try using string matching to get the namespace from page names. -- Do a quick and dirty bad title check to try and make sure we do the same -- thing as {{NAMESPACE}} in most cases. if not nsTable and type(ns) == 'string' and not ns:find('[<>|%[%]{}]') then local nsStripped = ns:gsub('^[_%s]*:', '') nsStripped = nsStripped:gsub(':.*$', '') nsTable = mw.site.namespaces[nsStripped] end -- If we still have no match then try the {{NAMESPACE}} parser function, -- which should catch the remainder of cases. Don't use a mw.title object, -- as this would increment the expensive function count for each new page -- tested. if not nsTable then frame = frame or mw.getCurrentFrame() local nsProcessed = frame:callParserFunction('NAMESPACE', ns) nsTable = nsProcessed and mw.site.namespaces[nsProcessed] end return nsTable and nsTable.hasSubpages end function p.main(frame) local ns = frame:getParent().args[1] if ns then ns = ns:match('^%s*(.-)%s*$') -- trim whitespace ns = tonumber(ns) or ns end local hasSubpages = p._main(ns, frame) return hasSubpages and 'yes' or '' end return p
