{{High-risk|1,000+}} This module allows you to output different text depending on the '''namespace''' that a given page is in. It is a [[Help:Lua|Lua]] implementation of the {{tl|namespace detect}} template, with a few improvements: all namespaces and all namespace aliases are supported, and namespace names are detected automatically for the local wiki. == Usage == <pre> {{#invoke: Namespace detect | main | page = <!-- page to detect namespace for, if not the current page --> | main = <!-- text to return for the main namespace --> | talk = <!-- text to return for talk namespaces --> <!-- text to return for specific subject namespaces --> | portal = | category = | user = | mepedia = | education program = | mediawiki = | book = | timedtext = | template = | special = | media = | file = | image = | help = | module = | other = <!-- text to return for unspecified namespaces --> | demospace = <!-- namespace to display text for --> | subjectns = <!-- set to "yes" to treat talk pages as the corresponding subject page --> }} </pre> == Parameters == * '''main''' - text to return if the page is in the main namespace. * '''talk''' - text to return if the page is in a talk namespace. This can be any talk namespace - it will match any of "Talk:", "MEpedia talk:", "User talk:", etc. * Subject namespace parameters, e.g. '''mepedia''', '''user''', '''file'''... - the text to return if the page is in the corresponding namespace. This module accepts all subject namespaces as parameters, including [[MEpedia:Namespace#Aliases|namespace aliases]] and [[MEpedia:Namespace#Virtual namespaces|virtual namespaces]]. See below for a list of supported values. * '''other''' - text to return if no parameters for the page's namespace were specified. This text is also returned if {{para|demospace}} is set to an invalid namespace value. * '''subjectns''' - if on a talk page, use the corresponding subject page. Can be set with values of "yes", "y", "true" or "1". * '''demopage''' - specifies a page to detect the namespace of. If not specified, and if the {{para|demospace}} parameter is not set, then the module uses the current page. * '''demospace''' - force the module to behave as if the page was in the specified namespace. Often used for demonstrations. === Namespace parameters === Possible values for subject namespace parameters are as follows: {{#invoke:Namespace detect|table}} == Table function == Use the following to display a table with the different possible namespace parameters: {{#invoke:Namespace detect|table|talk=''yes''}} To include the parameter for talk namespaces, use {{para|talk|yes}}. == Porting to different wikis == This module is designed to be portable. To use it on a different wiki, all you need to do is to change the values in [[Module:Namespace detect/config]]. Instructions are available on that page. == Technical details == The module uses a data page at [[Module:Namespace detect/data]]. This page is loaded with [[mw:Extension:Scribunto/Lua reference manual#mw.loadData|mw.loadData]], which means it is processed once per page rather than once per #invoke. This was done for performance reasons.
