Module:links

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This module provides many useful utility functions for creating and processing wikilinks within Wiktionary. It is used by the linking templates{{m}}and{{l}}through the functions inModule:links/templates.

Functions

export.split_on_slashes

functionexport.split_on_slashes(text)

Takes an input and splits on a double slash (taking account of escaping backslashes).

export.get_fragment

functionexport.get_fragment(text)

Takes a link target and outputs the actual target and the fragment (if any).

functionexport.get_link_page(target,lang,sc,plain)

This function lacks documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.

functionexport.language_link(data)

Creates a basic link to the given term. It links to the language section (such as==English==), but it does not add language and script wrappers, so any code that uses this function should call thetag_textfromModule:script utilitiesto add such wrappers itself at some point. The first argument,data,may contain the following items, a subset of the items used in thedataargument offull_link.If any other items are included, they are ignored.
{
term=entry_to_link_to,
alt=link_text_or_displayed_text,
lang=language_object,
id=sense_id,
}
term
Text to turn into a link. This is generally the name of a page. The text can contain wikilinks already embedded in it. These are processed individually just like a single link would be. Thealtargument is ignored in this case.
alt(optional)
The alternative display for the link, if different from the linked page. If this isnil,thetextargument is used instead (much like regular wikilinks). Iftextcontains wikilinks in it, this argument is ignored and has no effect. (Links in which the alt is ignored are tracked with the tracking templatelinks/alt-ignored.)
lang
Thelanguage objectfor the term being linked. If this argument is defined, the function will determine the language's canonical name (seeTemplate:language data documentation), and point the link or links in thetermto the language's section of an entry, or to a language-specific senseid if theidargument is defined.
id(optional)
Sense id string. If this argument is defined, the link will point to a language-specific sense id (identifier) created by the template{{senseid}}.A sense id consists of the language's canonical name, a hyphen (-), and the string that was supplied as theidargument. This is useful when a term has more than one sense in a language. If thetermargument contains wikilinks, this argument is ignored. (Links in which the sense id is ignored are tracked with the tracking templatelinks/id-ignored.) The second argument is as follows:
allow_self_link
Iftrue,the function will also generate links to the current page. The default (false) will not generate a link but generate a bolded "self link" instead. The following special options are processed for each link (both simple text and with embedded wikilinks):
  • The target page name will be processed to generate the correct entry name. This is done by themakeEntryNamefunction inModule:languages,using theentry_namereplacements in the language's data file (seeTemplate:language data documentationfor more information). This function is generally used to automatically strip dictionary-only diacritics that are not part of the normal written form of a language.
  • If the text starts with*,then the term is considered a reconstructed term, and a link to the Reconstruction: namespace will be created. If the text contains embedded wikilinks, then*is automatically applied to each one individually, while preserving the displayed form of each link as it was given. This allows linking to phrases containing multiple reconstructed terms, while only showing the * once at the beginning.
  • If the text starts with:,then the link is treated as "raw" and the above steps are skipped. This can be used in rare cases where the page name begins with*or if diacritics should not be stripped. For example:

functionexport.plain_link(data)

This function lacks documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.

functionexport.embedded_language_links(data)

Replace any links with links to the correct section, but don't link the whole text if no embedded links are found. Returns the display text form.

export.mark

functionexport.mark(text,item_type,face,lang)

This function lacks documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.

functionexport.format_link_annotations(data,face)

Formats the annotations that are displayed with a link created byfull_link.Annotations are the extra bits of information that are displayed following the linked term, and include things such as gender, transliteration, gloss and so on.

  • The first argument is a table possessing some or all of the following keys:
    genders
    Table containing a list of gender specifications in the style ofModule:gender and number.
    tr
    Transliteration.
    gloss
    Gloss that translates the term in the link, or gives some other descriptive information.
    pos
    Part of speech of the linked term. If the given argument matches one of the templates inCategory:Part of speech tags,then call that to show a part-of-speech tag. Otherwise, just show the given text as it is.
    lit
    Literal meaning of the term, if the usual meaning is figurative or idiomatic.
    Any of the above values can be omitted from theinfoargument. If a completely empty table is given (with no annotations at all), then an empty string is returned.
  • The second argument is a string. Valid values are listed inModule:script utilities/data"data.translit" table.

functionexport.full_link(data,face,allow_self_link,show_qualifiers)

Creates a full link, with annotations (seeformat_link_annotations), in the style of{{l}}or{{m}}.The first argument,data,must be a table. It contains the various elements that can be supplied as parameters to{{l}}or{{m}}:
{
term=entry_to_link_to,
alt=link_text_or_displayed_text,
lang=language_object,
sc=script_object,
track_sc=boolean,
fragment=link_fragment
id=sense_id,
genders={"gender1","gender2",...},
tr=transliteration,
ts=transcription,
gloss=gloss,
pos=part_of_speech_tag,
lit=literal_translation,
no_alt_ast=boolean,
accel={accelerated_creation_tags},
interwiki=interwiki,
q={"left_qualifier1","left_qualifier2",...}or"left_qualifier",
qq={"right_qualifier1","right_qualifier2",...}or"right_qualifier",
refs={"formatted_ref1","formatted_ref2",...}or{{text="text",name="name",group="group"},...},
}
Any one of the items in thedatatable may benil,but an error will be shown if neithertermnoraltnortris present. Thus, callingfull_link{term=term,lang=lang,sc=sc},wheretermis an entry name,langis alanguage objectfromModule:languages,andscis ascript objectfromModule:scripts,will give a plain link similar to the one produced by the template{{l}},and callingfull_link({term=term,lang=lang,sc=sc},"term")will give a link similar to the one produced by the template{{m}}.The function will:
  • Try to determine the script, based on the characters found in the term or alt argument, if the script was not given. If a script is given andtrack_scistrue,it will check whether the input script is the same as the one which would have been automatically generated and add the categoryCategory:Terms with redundant script codesif yes, orCategory:Terms with non-redundant manual script codesif no. This should be used when the input script object is directly determined by a template'ssc=parameter.
  • Calllanguage_linkon the term or alt forms, to remove diacritics in the page name, process any embedded wikilinks and create links to Reconstruction or Appendix pages when necessary.
  • CallModule:script utilities#tag_textto add the appropriate language and script tags to the term, and to italicize terms written in the Latin script if necessary. Accelerated creation tags, as used byWT:ACCEL,are included.
  • Generate a transliteration, based on the alt or term arguments, if the script is not Latin and no transliteration was provided.
  • Add the annotations (transliteration, gender, gloss etc.) after the link.
  • Ifno_alt_astis specified, then the alt text does not need to contain an asterisk if the language is reconstructed. This should only be used by modules which really need to allow links to reconstructions that don't display asterisks (e.g. number boxes).
  • Ifshow_qualifiersis specified, left and right qualifiers and references will be displayed. (This is for compatibility reasons, since a fair amount of code stores qualifiers and/or references in these fields and displays them itself, expectingfull_link()to ignore them.

functionexport.remove_links(text,tag)

Replaces all wikilinks with their displayed text, and removes any categories. This function can be invoked either from a template or from another module. -- Strips links: deletes category links, the targets of piped links, and any double square brackets involved in links (other than file links, which are untouched). Iftagis set, then any links removed will be given pseudo-HTML tags, which allow the substitution functions inModule:languagesto properly subdivide the text in order to reduce the chance of substitution failures in modules which scrape pages likeModule:zh-translit.-- FIXME: This is quite hacky. We probably want this to be integrated intoModule:languages,but we can't do that until we know that nothing is pushing pipe linked transliterations through it for languages which don't have link_tr set.

  • [[page|displayed text]]displayed text
  • [[page and displayed text]]page and displayed text
  • [[Category:English lemmas|WORD]](nothing)

:The [[Module:languages#Language objects|language object]] for the term being linked. If this argument is defined, the function will determine the language's canonical name (see [[Template:language data documentation]]), and point the link or links in the <code class= "n" >term</code> to the language's section of an entry, or to a language-specific senseid if the <code class= "n" >id</code> argument is defined.
;<code class= "n" >id</code> (''optional'')
:Sense id string. If this argument is defined, the link will point to a language-specific sense id ({{ll|en|identifier|id=HTML}}) created by the template {{temp|senseid}}. A sense id consists of the language's canonical name, a hyphen (<code>-</code>), and the string that was supplied as the <code class= "n" >id</code> argument. This is useful when a term has more than one sense in a language. If the <code class= "n" >term</code> argument contains wikilinks, this argument is ignored. (Links in which the sense id is ignored are tracked with the tracking template {{whatlinkshere|tracking=links/id-ignored}}.)
The second argument is as follows:
;<code class= "n" >allow_self_link</code>
:If {{code|lua|true}}, the function will also generate links to the current page. The default ({{code|lua|false}}) will not generate a link but generate a bolded "self link" instead.
The following special options are processed for each link (both simple text and with embedded wikilinks):
* The target page name will be processed to generate the correct entry name. This is done by the [[Module:languages#makeEntryName|makeEntryName]] function in [[Module:languages]], using the <code class= "n" >entry_name</code> replacements in the language's data file (see [[Template:language data documentation]] for more information). This function is generally used to automatically strip dictionary-only diacritics that are not part of the normal written form of a language.
* If the text starts with <code class= "n" >*</code>, then the term is considered a reconstructed term, and a link to the Reconstruction: namespace will be created. If the text contains embedded wikilinks, then <code class= "n" >*</code> is automatically applied to each one individually, while preserving the displayed form of each link as it was given. This allows linking to phrases containing multiple reconstructed terms, while only showing the * once at the beginning.
* If the text starts with <code class= "n" >:</code>, then the link is treated as "raw" and the above steps are skipped. This can be used in rare cases where the page name begins with <code class= "n" >*</code> or if diacritics should not be stripped. For example:
** {{temp|l|en|*nix}} links to the nonexistent page [[Reconstruction:English/nix]] (<code class= "n" >*</code> is interpreted as a reconstruction), but {{temp|l|en|:*nix}} links to [[*nix]].
** {{temp|l|sl|Franche-Comté}} links to the nonexistent page [[Franche-Comte]] (<code>é</code> is converted to <code>e</code> by <code class= "n" >makeEntryName</code>), but {{temp|l|sl|:Franche-Comté}} links to [[Franche-Comté]].]==]

Thus, calling {{code|lua|2=full_link{ term = term, lang = lang, sc = sc } }}, where <code class= "n" >term</code> is an entry name, <code class= "n" >lang</code> is a [[Module:languages#Language objects|language object]] from [[Module:languages]], and <code class= "n" >sc</code> is a [[Module:scripts#Script objects|script object]] from [[Module:scripts]], will give a plain link similar to the one produced by the template {{temp|l}}, and calling {{code|lua|2=full_link( { term = term, lang = lang, sc = sc }, "term" )}} will give a link similar to the one produced by the template {{temp|m}}.
The function will:
* Try to determine the script, based on the characters found in the term or alt argument, if the script was not given. If a script is given and <code class= "n" >track_sc</code> is {{code|lua|true}}, it will check whether the input script is the same as the one which would have been automatically generated and add the category [[:Category:Terms with redundant script codes]] if yes, or [[:Category:Terms with non-redundant manual script codes]] if no. This should be used when the input script object is directly determined by a template's <code class= "n" >sc=</code> parameter.
* Call <code class= "n" >[[#language_link|language_link]]</code> on the term or alt forms, to remove diacritics in the page name, process any embedded wikilinks and create links to Reconstruction or Appendix pages when necessary.
* Call <code class= "n" >[[Module:script utilities#tag_text]]</code> to add the appropriate language and script tags to the term, and to italicize terms written in the Latin script if necessary. Accelerated creation tags, as used by [[WT:ACCEL]], are included.
* Generate a transliteration, based on the alt or term arguments, if the script is not Latin and no transliteration was provided.
* Add the annotations (transliteration, gender, gloss etc.) after the link.
* If <code class= "n" >no_alt_ast</code> is specified, then the alt text does not need to contain an asterisk if the language is reconstructed. This should only be used by modules which really need to allow links to reconstructions that don't display asterisks (e.g. number boxes).
* If <code class= "n" >show_qualifiers</code> is specified, left and right qualifiers and references will be displayed. (This is for compatibility reasons, since a fair amount of code stores qualifiers and/or references in these fields and displays them itself, expecting {{code|lua|full_link()}} to ignore them.]==]

This decodes old section encodings.
For example, Norwegian_Bokm.C3.A5l → Norwegian_Bokmål.
It isn't picky about whether the section encodings represent the UTF-8 encoding
of a real Unicode character, so it will mangle section names that contain
a period followed by two uppercase hex characters. At least such section names
are probably pretty rare.

Wiktionary adds an additional id= "" attribute for sections
using a legacy encoding, if it is different from the modern minimally modified attribute.
It is like percent encoding (URI or URL encoding) except with "." instead of "%".
See [[mw:Manual:$wgFragmentMode]] and the code that does the encoding at
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/core/+/7bf779524ab1fd8e1d74f79ea4840564d48eea4d/includes/parser/Sanitizer.php#893
