मोड्युल:Redirect/कागजात
 | This Lua module is used in system messages. Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Wikipedia user interface. To avoid major disruption, 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 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 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 Lua module is used on approximately ४,९७०,००० pages, or roughly 4500% of all pages. 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. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This module contains functions to find the target of a redirect page.
Main
[सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]The main function accepts the name of a single page. It determines if the page is a redirect; if so it looks up the page, extracts the target, and returns the target name as text. Its usage is {{#invoke:redirect|main|redirect-page-name}}.
The template normally neither takes nor gives square brackets, so to show the result as a link use [[{{#invoke:redirect|main|redirect-page-name}}]]. An error is produced if the redirect does not exist, but for versatility no error is given if the file is not a redirect (returns the original text) or if the file name is blank (returns blank).
However, if the parameter bracket is given a nonblank value, brackets will be passed on if present.
Examples
[सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]{{#invoke:redirect|main|WP:AFC}}→ विकिपिडिया:AFC{{#invoke:redirect|main|[[WP:AFD]]|bracket=yes}}→ विकिपिडिया:AFD{{#invoke:redirect|main|Wikipedia:Articles for deletion}}→ विकिपिडिया:Articles for deletion
Note: WP:AFC and WP:AFD are both redirects, but Wikipedia:Articles for deletion is not.
LuaMain
[सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]If you want to use the main function from another Lua module, you may want to use the luaMain function. This provides the same functionality as the main function, but doesn't require that a frame object be available.
To use this, first load the module.
local mRedirect = require('Module:Redirect')
Then use the function with the following syntax:
mRedirect.luaMain(rname, bracket)
rname is the name of the redirect page, and if bracket is anything but false or nil, the module will produce a link rather than just a page name.
IsRedirect
[सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]The isRedirect function is used from wiki pages to find out if a given page is a redirect or not. If the page is a redirect, the function returns "yes", and if not the output is blank. Its usage is {{#invoke:redirect|isRedirect|redirect-page-name}}.
Examples
[सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]{{#invoke:redirect|isRedirect|WP:AFC}}→{{#invoke:redirect|isRedirect|Wikipedia:Articles for deletion}}→
LuaIsRedirect
[सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]The isRedirect can be accessed from other Lua modules in the same way as the main function:
local mRedirect = require('Module:Redirect')
mRedirect.luaIsRedirect(rname)
GetTarget
[सम्पादन गर्नुहोस्]The getTarget function fetches the target page name of a redirect page, and is only usable from Lua. If the page specified is a redirect, then the target is returned; otherwise the function returns nil.
To use it, first load the module.
local mRedirect = require('Module:Redirect')
Then use the function with the following syntax:
mRedirect.getTarget(page)
page can be either the name of the redirect page as a string, or a mw.title object.
