 | This Lua module is used on approximately 143,000 pages. 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. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This module produces an "other uses" hatnote for linking to disambiguation pages. It implements the {{other uses}} template.
Usage from wikitext
[edit]otheruses()
[edit]The otheruses() function directly implements {{other uses}} and probably shouldn't be used anywhere else.
otherX()
[edit]The otherX() function allows direct implementation of templates that differ from {{other uses}} in only phrasing. For example, where {{other uses}} is phrased with "other uses", {{other places}} is phrased with "other places with the same name" and can be implemented using otherX(), which takes the custom phrasing as its parameter at the module invocation. {{other places}} in particular could be implemented with this wikitext:
{{#invoke:other uses|otherX|places with the same name}}
Note that the leading "other" is automatically supplied; if a template would not use this phrasing, it should not use otherX().
Usage from Lua
[edit]To use this module from Lua, first load the module:
local mOtheruses = require('Module:Other uses')
The module functions can then be used through the _otheruses() function:
mOtheruses._otheruses(args, options)
Parameters of _otheruses()
[edit]- args
- A table containing strings of link text, without brackets. For example,
{"PAGE1", "PAGE2#SECTION", "PAGE3|LABEL"}. Make sure that there are no gaps or nil values, as that can confuse themw.text.listToText()function the module uses. If in doubt, usecompressSparseArray()from Module:TableTools. This may be empty or nil. - options
- A table containing a number of optional named values; you must supply at least one of
options.defaultPageoroptions.title; in most cases setting the latter tomw.title.getCurrentTitle().prefixedTextis advisable. The following options are supported:defaultPage: String; completely overrides the linked page when no arguments are suppliedtitle: String; sets the title used before the "(disambiguation)" suffix.disambiguator: String; replaces "disambiguation" in the suffixotherText: String; replaces "uses" in "other uses"
