![]() | This Lua module is used in MediaWiki:Titleblacklist-custom-URL, and on approximately 548,000 pages, or roughly 3% of all pages. Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Justapedia user interface. 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. Please discuss changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
![]() | This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing. |
This module implements {{URL}} and {{URL2}}. Please see the template page for documentation.
Lua interface
The p._url(url, text, msg)
function may be used by other Lua modules. It returns a formatted Wikitext for the given URL, made suitable for line wrapping using . It takes the following parameters:
- url
- REQUIRED. The URL to format.
- text
- OPTIONAL. Display text to put in the Wikitext link. Defaults to a pretty version of the URL.
- msg
- OPTIONAL. String. If content is false, n or N, do not emit a help message (using
{{tlx}}
) when URL is not given.
Example
The following module emits a prettified link to log the user out. It will wrap correctly to most widths.
local url = require('Module:URL')._url
local p = {}
p.main = function(frame)
return url("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:UserLogout")
end
return p
