| '''Module:Check for unknown parameters''' is used to check for uses of unknown parameters in a template or module. It may be appended to a template at the end or called directly from a module.
| |
| | |
| == Usage ==
| |
| === From a template ===
| |
| To sort entries into a tracking category by parameter, use:
| |
| * {{mlx|Check for unknown parameters|check|unknown{{=}}{{elc|Category:Some tracking category|_VALUE_}}|arg1|arg2|arg3|argN}}
| |
| | |
| To sort the entries into a tracking category by parameter with a preview error message, use:
| |
| * {{mlx|Check for unknown parameters|check|unknown{{=}}{{elc|Category:Some tracking category|_VALUE_}}|preview{{=}}unknown parameter "_VALUE_"|arg1|arg2|...|argN}}
| |
| | |
| For an explicit red error message, use:
| |
| * {{mlx|Check for unknown parameters|check|unknown{{=}}{{tag|span|params=class{{=}}"error"|content=Sorry, I don't recognize _VALUE_}}|arg1|arg2|...|argN}}
| |
| | |
| To use Lua patterns, use:
| |
| * {{mlx|Check for unknown parameters|check|unknown{{=}}{{elc|Category:Some tracking category|_VALUE_}}|preview{{=}}unknown parameter "_VALUE_"|arg1|arg2|...|argN|regexp1{{=}}header[%d]+|regexp2{{=}}date[1-9]}}
| |
| | |
| ===From a module===
| |
| To call from a module, use:
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
| |
| local checkForUnknownParameters = require("Module:Check for unknown parameters")
| |
| local result = checkForUnknownParameters._check(validArgs, args)
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| Where the first set of args are the module args below and the second set of args are the parameters that are checked.
| |
| | |
| == Parameters ==
| |
| * <code>arg1</code>, <code>arg2</code>, ..., <code>argN</code>, are the known parameters.
| |
| * Unnamed (positional) parameters can be added too: <code>|1|2|arg1|arg2|...</code>.
| |
| * [[:mw:Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual#Patterns|Lua patterns]] (similar to [[regular expression]]s) usage with parameters is also supported (such as: {{para|regexp1|header[%d]+}}, {{para|regexp2|date[1-9]}}, {{para|regexp3|data[%d]+[abc]?}}). This is useful when there are many known parameters which use a systematic pattern.
| |
| * {{para|unknown}} – what happens when an unknown parameter is used. Typically use either a tracking category to place pages that use unknown parameters, or an error.
| |
| * {{para|preview}} – the text to be displayed when in preview mode and an unknown parameter is used.
| |
| * The <code>_VALUE_</code> keyword, if used, will be changed to the name of the parameter. This is useful for either sorting the entries in a tracking category, or for provide more explicit information.
| |
| * {{para|ignoreblank|1}} – by default, the module makes no distinction between a defined-but-blank parameter and a non-blank parameter. That is, both unlisted {{Para|foo|x}} and {{Para|foo}} are reported. To only track non-blank parameters use {{para|ignoreblank|1}}. If you clean your arguments with [[Module:Arguments]] and call this module afterwards, you need not use this parameter as that module ignores blank arguments by default.
| |
| * {{para|showblankpositional|1}} – by default, the module ignores blank positional parameters. That is, an unlisted {{para|2}} is ignored. To {{em|include}} blank positional parameters in the tracking use {{para|showblankpositional|1}}.
| |
| * {{para|mapframe_args}} – When this is set to a non-null value, the various [[Module:Infobox mapframe]] parameters will be automatically included in the list of valid parameters. This eliminates the need to manually add all 20+ params. '''NOTE''' this should only be used when {{mlx|Infobox mapframe|autoWithCation}} is in the template calling Check for unknown. Do NOT use if using {{tl|Infobox mapframe}} as not all parameters are included when calling the template.
| |
| | |
| == Example ==
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
| |
| {{Infobox
| |
| | above = {{{name|}}}
| |
| | |
| | label1 = Height
| |
| | data1 = {{{height|}}}
| |
| | |
| | label2 = Weight
| |
| | data2 = {{{weight|}}}
| |
| | |
| | label3 = Website
| |
| | data3 = {{{website|}}}
| |
| }}<!--
| |
| end infobox, start tracking
| |
| -->{{#invoke:Check for unknown parameters|check
| |
| | unknown = {{Main other|[[Category:Some tracking category|_VALUE_]]}}
| |
| | preview = unknown parameter "_VALUE_" | height | name | website | weight
| |
| }}
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
