This module detects if a given page is a disambiguation page.
Usage
{{#invoke:Disambiguation|isDisambiguationPage|Page title}}
- returns
yesif the page is a disambiguation page, or nothing if the page is not a disambiguation page
Examples:
{{#invoke:Disambiguation|isDisambiguationPage|Paris}}→ Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Disambiguation/templates' not found.{{#invoke:Disambiguation|isDisambiguationPage|New}}→ Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Disambiguation/templates' not found.{{#invoke:Disambiguation|isDisambiguationPage|Black swan (disambiguation)}}→ Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Disambiguation/templates' not found.
You can also use magic words like {{SUBJECTPAGENAME}}:
{{#invoke:Disambiguation|isDisambiguationPage|{{SUBJECTPAGENAME}}}}→ Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'Module:Disambiguation/templates' not found.
Usage within Lua modules
Import this module, e.g with
local mDisambiguation = require('Module:Disambiguation')Then you can use the functions isDisambiguation and _isDisambiguationPage.
If you have already have a Title object for the page to check, get the content using the title object's getContent() method, and pass that into isDisambiguation:
local isDab = mDisambiguation.isDisambiguation(content) -- returns true or false- (where
contentis a string, the wikitext content of page to check)
If you don't otherwise need the title, you can pass in the page name to _isDisambiguationPage:
local isDab = mDisambiguation._isDisambiguationPage(pageName) -- returns true or false- (where
pageNameis a string, the name of page to check)
Internal operations
- Although set index articles are treated by some templates as disambiguation pages, they are actually considered a special type of list and are not treated as disambiguation pages by this module
- As this module relies on detecting templates with names like "disambiguation" in the article text, it is subject to false positives by templates such as {{italic disambiguation}}. These templates should be added to the falsePositives list in the code to exclude them.
- The list of disambiguation templates is maintained at Module:Disambiguation/templates.
