Module:Further
This module produces a "Further information: a, b and c" link. It implements the {{further}} template.
Contents
Usage from wikitext
This module cannot be used directly from #invoke. Instead, it can only be used through the {{further}} template. Please see the template page for documentation.
Usage from other Lua modules
Load the module:
local mFurther = require('Module:Further')
You can then use the _further function like this:
mDetails._further(options, ...)
The parameters following options are the page names that appear after the "Further information:" text. Page names can include a section link if desired. Pages with section links are automatically formatted as page § section, rather than the MediaWiki default of page#section.
The options variable is an optional configuration table. 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.)
Example 1
mFurther._further(nil, 'A')
Produces:
<div role="note" class="hatnote">Further information: [[A]]</div>
Displays as:
Example 2
mFurther._further(nil, 'A', 'B', 'C')
Produces:
<div role="note" class="hatnote">Further information: [[A]], [[B]] and [[C]]</div>
Displays as:
Example 3
mFurther._further({selfref = true}, 'A#D', 'B#D', 'C#D')
Produces:
<div role="note" class="hatnote selfref">Further information: [[A#D|A § D]], [[B#D|B § D]] and [[B#D|C § D]]</div>
