Module:Citation mode: Difference between revisions

Module documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This function is intended to be used in |mode= for templates which wrap other citation templates. It outputs its argument unless {{CS1 config}} configures a page-wide mode on the current page, in which case it outputs nothing. The effect of this is that templates invoking this module do not set a mode, allowing the parent template to obey the page-wide mode set in {{CS1 config}}.

Wrapper templates should not attempt to access {{CS1 config}} directly, because this would cause them to be incorrectly added to Category:CS1 maint: overridden setting.

Usage

{{#invoke:Citation mode|main|mode}}

returns empty if {{CS1 config}} mode is set on page, otherwise returns mode argument.

Tests

Because the behavior of this module depends on global read-only state, tests are split between two files:

• The tests without {{CS1 config}} being used are here, with results here.
• The tests with {{CS1 config}} being used are here, with results here.
