This is the documentation page for ମଡ୍ୟୁଲ:Other uses

This Lua module is used on ୪୪,୦୦୦+ pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This module produces an "other uses" hatnote for linking to disambiguation pages. It implements the {{other uses}} template.

Usage from wikitext

This module cannot be used directly from wikitext. Please use the {{other uses}} template instead.

Usage from Lua

To use this module from Lua, first load the module:

local mOtheruses = require('Module:Other uses')

The module can then be used with the following syntax:

mOtheruses._otheruses(args, options)

Parameters

args

A table containing strings of link text, without brackets. For example, {"PAGE1", "PAGE2#SECTION", "PAGE3|LABEL"}. Make sure that there are no gaps or nil values, as that can confuse the mw.text.listToText() function the module uses. If in doubt, use compressSparseArray() from Module:TableTools. This may be empty or nil.

options

A table containing a number of optional named values; you must supply at least one of options.defaultPage or options.title; in most cases setting the latter to mw.title.getCurrentTitle().text is advisable. The following options are supported:

defaultPage: String; completely overrides the linked page when no arguments are supplied
title: String; sets the title used before the "(disambiguation)" suffix.
disambiguator: String; replaces "disambiguation" in the suffix
otherText: String; replaces "uses" in "other uses"
