![]() | This Lua module is used on approximately 5,880,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
![]() | This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing. |
This page contains various functions and tables that are common to multiple of the various modules that make up Module:Citation/CS1.
These files comprise the module support for CS1|2 citation templates:

error_ids_t = {}; -- list of error identifiers; used to prevent duplication of certain errors; local to this module

enumerated – true/false flag used to choose how enumerated aliases are examined

selected – the alias that has previously been selected; nil if not yet selected
error_list – list of aliases that are duplicates of the alias already selected

Gets the display text from a wikilink like [[A|B]] or [[B]] gives B
The str:gsub() returns either A|B froma [[A|B]] or B from [[B]] or B from B (no wikilink markup).
In l(), l:gsub() removes the link and pipe (if they exist); the second :gsub() trims whitespace from the label
if str was wrapped in wikilink markup. Presumably, this is because without wikimarkup in str, there is no match
in the initial gsub, the replacement function l() doesn't get called.
