 | This Lua module is used onapproximately 142,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the module's/sandbox or/testcases subpages, or in your ownmodule sandbox. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on thetalk page before implementing them. |
 | This module is rated asready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be relatively bug-free and ready for use wherever appropriate. It is ready to mention on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users to learn. To reduce server load and bad output, it should be improved bysandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
 | This module issubject to page protection. It is ahighly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or issubstituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it isprotected from editing. |
This module produces an "other uses" hatnote for linking to disambiguation pages. It implements the{{other uses}} template.
Theotheruses() function directly implements{{other uses}} and probably shouldn't be used anywhere else.
TheotherX() function allows direct implementation of templates that differ from{{other uses}} in only phrasing. For example, where{{other uses}} is phrased with "other uses",{{other places}} is phrased with "other places with the same name" and can be implemented usingotherX(), which takes the custom phrasing as its parameter at the module invocation.{{other places}} in particular could be implemented with this wikitext:
{{#invoke:other uses|otherX|places with the same name}}Note that the leading "other" is automatically supplied; if a template would not use this phrasing, it should not useotherX().
To use this module from Lua, first load the module:
localmOtheruses=require('Module:Other uses')
The module functions can then be used through the_otheruses() function:
mOtheruses._otheruses(args,options)
_otheruses(){"PAGE1", "PAGE2#SECTION", "PAGE3|LABEL"}. Make sure that there are no gaps or nil values, as that can confuse themw.text.listToText() function the module uses. If in doubt, usecompressSparseArray() fromModule:TableTools. This may be empty or nil.options.defaultPage oroptions.title; in most cases setting the latter tomw.title.getCurrentTitle().prefixedText is advisable. The following options are supported:defaultPage: String; completely overrides the linked page when no arguments are suppliedtitle: String; sets the title used before the "(disambiguation)" suffix.disambiguator: String; replaces "disambiguation" in the suffixotherText: String; replaces "uses" in "other uses"localmHatnote=require('Module:Hatnote')localmHatlist=require('Module:Hatnote list')localmArguments--initialize lazilylocalmTableTools--initialize lazilylocallibraryUtil=require('libraryUtil')localcheckType=libraryUtil.checkTypelocalp={}-- Produces standard {{other uses}} implementationfunctionp.otheruses(frame)mArguments=require('Module:Arguments')mTableTools=require('Module:TableTools')localargs=mTableTools.compressSparseArray(mArguments.getArgs(frame))localtitle=mw.title.getCurrentTitle().prefixedTextreturnp._otheruses(args,{title=title})end--Implements "other [x]" templates with otherText supplied at invocationfunctionp.otherX(frame)mArguments=require('Module:Arguments')mTableTools=require('Module:TableTools')localx=frame.args[1]localargs=mTableTools.compressSparseArray(mArguments.getArgs(frame,{parentOnly=true}))localoptions={title=mw.title.getCurrentTitle().prefixedText,otherText=x}returnp._otheruses(args,options)end-- Main generatorfunctionp._otheruses(args,options)--Type-checks and defaultscheckType('_otheruses',1,args,'table',true)args=argsor{}checkType('_otheruses',2,options,'table')ifnot(options.defaultPageoroptions.title)thenerror('No default title data provided in "_otheruses" options table',2)endlocalemptyArgs=truefork,vinpairs(args)doiftype(k)=='number'thenemptyArgs=falsebreakendendifemptyArgsthenargs={options.defaultPageormHatnote.disambiguate(options.title,options.disambiguator)}end--Generate and return hatnotelocaltext=mHatlist.forSeeTableToString({{use=options.otherTextand"other "..options.otherTextornil,pages=args}})returnmHatnote._hatnote(text)endreturnp
