Jump to navigationJump to searchThis is the documentation page for Module:InterwikiTable
This is a table of sites containing data about the interwiki prefixes of various Wikimedia sites.
Usage
The module cannot be accessed directly from #invoke. It should be loaded from another Lua module using mw.loadData, like this:
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua"> local interwiki_table = mw.loadData('Module:InterwikiTable') </syntaxhighlight>
Table fields
The table is made up of subtables for each interwiki destination. For example, interwiki_table.wikipedia points to the entry for Wikipedia. Entries usually correspond to a Wikimedia site, but not always. For example, both the "rev" and "mediawiki" subtables point to mediawiki.org.
Each subtable has five fields:
domain- The base domain name of the website, without any language codes.domain_primary- Whether this is the primary entry for the domain.iw_prefix- A table of valid interwiki prefixes for the site. See Help:Interwiki linking.title_prefix- The text between the domain name and the project's article titles.takes_lang_prefix- Whether the project has separate subdomains for different languages, e.g. es.wikipedia.org.
