Module:InterwikiTable/doc

This is the documentation page for Module:InterwikiTable

This module is rated as beta, and is ready for widespread use. It is still new and should be used with some caution to ensure the results are as expected.

This is a table of sites containing data about the interwiki prefixes of various Wikimedia sites.

Usage

The module cannot be accessed directly from #invoke. It should be loaded from another Lua module using mw.loadData, like this:

local interwiki_table = mw.loadData('Module:InterwikiTable')

Table fields

The table is made up of subtables for each interwiki destination. For example, interwiki_table.wikipedia points to the entry for Wikipedia. Entries usually correspond to a Wikimedia site, but not always. For example, both the "rev" and "mediawiki" subtables point to mediawiki.org.

Each subtable has five fields:

domain - The base domain name of the website, without any language codes.
domain_primary - Whether this is the primary entry for the domain.
iw_prefix - A table of valid interwiki prefixes for the site. See Help:Interwiki linking.
title_prefix - The text between the domain name and the project's article titles.
takes_lang_prefix - Whether the project has separate subdomains for different languages, e.g. es.wikipedia.org.

Examples

interwiki_table.wikipedia.domain → "wikipedia.org"
interwiki_table.wikiversity.domain_primary → true
interwiki_table.mediawiki.iw_prefix[1] → "mw"
interwiki_table.wikibooks.title_prefix → "/wiki/"
interwiki_table.meta.takes_lang_prefix → false
