Module:InterwikiTable/doc

This is a table of sites containing data about the interwiki prefixes of various Wikimedia sites.

Usage

The module cannot be accessed directly from #invoke. It should be loaded from another Lua module using mw.loadData, like this:

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> local interwiki_table = mw.loadData('Module:InterwikiTable') </syntaxhighlight>

Table fields

The table is made up of subtables for each interwiki destination. For example, interwiki_table.wikipedia points to the entry for Wikipedia. Entries usually correspond to a Wikimedia site, but not always. For example, both the "rev" and "mediawiki" subtables point to mediawiki.org.

Each subtable has five fields:

• domain - The base domain name of the website, without any language codes.
• domain_primary - Whether this is the primary entry for the domain.
• iw_prefix - A table of valid interwiki prefixes for the site. See Help:Interwiki linking.
• title_prefix - The text between the domain name and the project's article titles.
• takes_lang_prefix - Whether the project has separate subdomains for different languages, e.g. es.wikipedia.org.

Examples

• interwiki_table.wikipedia.domain → "wikipedia.org"
• interwiki_table.wikiversity.domain_primary → true
• interwiki_table.mediawiki.iw_prefix[1] → "mw"
• interwiki_table.wikibooks.title_prefix → "/wiki/"
• interwiki_table.meta.takes_lang_prefix → false
