Module:Section link
This module creates links to sections, nicely formatted with the "§" symbol instead of the default "#".
Usage
From wikitext
From wikitext, this module should be used via the template {{section link}}. Please see the template page for documentation.
From Lua
First, load the module:
local mSectionLink = require('Module:Section link')
You can then make section links via the _main function.
mSectionLink._main(page, sections, options, title)
Parameters:
- page - the page name to link to. Defaults to the full page name of title, or the current title if that is not specified.
- sections - an array of section names to link to, or a string to link to just one section name.
- options - a table of options. Accepts the following fields:
- nopage - set this to true to avoid displaying the base page name in links.
- title - a default mw.title object to use instead of the current title. Intended for testing purposes.
All parameters are optional.
Examples
mSectionLink('Paris')
|
{{section link|Paris}}
|
Paris § Notes |
mSectionLink('Paris', 'Architecture')
|
{{section link|Paris|Architecture}}
|
Paris § Architecture |
mSectionLink('Paris', {'Architecture', 'Culture'})
|
{{section link|Paris|Architecture|Culture}}
|
Paris §§ Architecture and Culture |
mSectionLink('Paris', {'Architecture', 'Culture', 'Sport'})
|
{{section link|Paris|Architecture|Culture|Sport}}
|
Paris §§ Architecture, Culture, and Sport |
mSectionLink('Paris', {'Architecture', 'Culture', 'Sport'}, {nopage = true})
|
{{section link|Paris|Architecture|Culture|Sport|nopage=yes}}
|
§§ Architecture, Culture, and Sport |
