Module:Further
This module produces a "Further information: a, b and c" link. It implements the {{further}} template.
Usage from wikitext[edit]
This module cannot be used directly from #invoke. Instead, it can only be used through the {{further}} template. Please see the template page for documentation.
Usage from other Lua modules[edit]
Load the module:
local mFurther = require('Module:Further')
You can then use the _further function like this:
mDetails._further(pages, options)
The pages argument should be a table of page link strings; if they use custom display values, each string should be preprocessed into a single piped string (e.g. page|display value
). Links specifying a section are automatically formatted as page § section, rather than the MediaWiki default of page#section, if no custom display value is set.
The options argument is an optional configuration table. At current, the only option available is "selfref", which is used when the output is a self-reference to Wikipedia. to set this option, use
. (See the {{selfref}} template for more details on self-references.)
{selfref = true}
Example 1[edit]
mFurther._further({'A'})
Produces:
<div role="note" class="hatnote">Further information: [[A]]</div>
Displays as:
Lua error in Module:Hatnote_list at line 44: attempt to call field 'formatPages' (a nil value).
Example 2[edit]
mFurther._further({'A', 'B', 'C'})
Produces:
<div role="note" class="hatnote">Further information: [[A]], [[B]] and [[C]]</div>
Displays as:
Lua error in Module:Hatnote_list at line 44: attempt to call field 'formatPages' (a nil value).
Example 3[edit]
mFurther._further({'A#D', 'B#D', 'C#D'}, {selfref = true})
Produces:
<div role="note" class="hatnote selfref">Further information: [[A#D|A § D]], [[B#D|B § D]] and [[B#D|C § D]]</div>
Displays as:
Lua error in Module:Hatnote_list at line 44: attempt to call field 'formatPages' (a nil value).
Technical details[edit]
This module uses Module:Hatnote to format the hatnote text, Module:Hatnote list to process the list of links, and Module:Arguments to fetch the arguments from wikitext.
