Module:Details/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Module:Details.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original module page.

This module produces a "for more details on this topic" link. It implements the {{details}} template.

Use from wikitext[සංස්කරණය]

This module cannot be used directly from #invoke. Instead, it can only be used through the {{details}} template. Please see the template page for documentation.

Use from other Lua modules[සංස්කරණය]

Load the module:

local mDetails = require('Module:Details')

You can then use the _details function like this:

mDetails._details(page, topic, options)

The page variable is the page to be linked to, and is required. The page name can include a section link if desired. If the page includes a section link, it is automatically formatted as page § section, rather than the MediaWiki default of page#section.

The topic variable is a description of the topic, and is optional. The default topic value is "this topic".

The options table can be used to configure the function's output. At current, the only option available is "selfref", which is used when the output is a self-reference to Wikipedia. to set this option, use {selfref = true}. (See the {{selfref}} template for more details on self-references.)
