Modul:utilities
This module exports various general utility functions, which can be used by other modules.
pattern_escape
szerkesztéspattern_escape(text)
Escapes the magic characters used in patterns (Lua's version of regular expressions). For example, "^$()%.[]*+-?"
becomes "%^%$%(%)%%%.%[%]%*%+%-%?"
.
format_categories
szerkesztésformat_categories(categories, lang, sort_key, sort_base, force_output)
Formats a list (table) of category names. The output is a string consisting of all categories with [[Category:...]]
applied to each one, and the given sort key added. If the namespace is not the main, Appendix or Reconstruction namespaces, the output will be an empty string unless force_output
is given. If no sort key is given:
- A default one is generated by using
sort_base
(if given) or the current subpage name, and by removing hyphens from the beginning (so that suffixes can be sorted without a key). - If a sort key is available for the given language, it is then used to create a sort key that follows the rules for that language.
- If the final sort key ends up being identical to the page name (which is the default sort key used by the software), then it is omitted entirely, so that it can be used in combination with DEFAULTSORT.
template_categorize
szerkesztés{{#invoke:utilities|template_categorize}}
This function is used by the {{categorize}}
, {{catlangname}}
and {{catlangcode}}
templates.
catfix
szerkesztésThis function adds a "catfix", which is used on language-specific category pages to add language attributes and often script classes to all entry names. The addition of language attributes and script classes makes the entry names display better (using the language- or script-specific styles specified in MediaWiki:Common.css), which is particularly important for non-English languages that do not have consistent font support in browsers.
Language attributes are added for all languages, but script classes are only added for languages with one script listed in their data file, or for languages that have a default script listed in the catfix_script
list in Module:utilities/data. Some languages clearly have a default script, but still have other scripts listed in their data file and therefore need their default script to be specified. Others do not have a default script.
- Serbo-Croatian is regularly written in both the Latin and Cyrillic scripts. Because it uses two scripts, Serbo-Croation cannot have a script class applied to entries in its category pages, as only one script class can be specified at a time.
- Russian is usually written in the Cyrillic script (
Cyrl
), but Braille (Brai
) is also listed in its data file. So Russian needs an entry in thecatfix_script
list, so that theCyrl
(Cyrillic) script class will be applied to entries in its category pages.
To find the scripts listed for a language, go to Module:languages and use the search box to find the data file for the language. To find out what a script code means, search the script code in Module:scripts/data

--[[
Format the categories with the appropriate sort key. CATEGORIES is a list of
categories.
-- LANG is an object encapsulating a language; if nil, the object for
language code 'und' (undetermined) will be used.
-- SORT_KEY is placed in the category invocation, and indicates how the
page will sort in the respective category. Normally this should be nil,
and a default sort key based on the subpage name (the part after the
colon) will be used.
-- SORT_BASE lets you override the default sort key used when SORT_KEY is
nil. Normally, this should be nil, and a language-specific default sort
key is computed from the subpage name (e.g. for Russian this converts
Cyrillic ё to a string consisting of Cyrillic е followed by U+10FFFF,
so that effectively ё sorts after е instead of the default Wikimedia
sort, which (I think) is based on Unicode sort order and puts ё after я,
the last letter of the Cyrillic alphabet.
-- FORCE_OUTPUT forces normal output in all namespaces. Normally, nothing
is output if the page isn't in the main, Appendix:, Reconstruction: or
Citations: namespaces.
