Module:Page

 ---- This module is meant to allow the goodies listed in
 ---- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#Title_objects
 ---- to be accessed by people who don't want to program a Lua module.
 ---- Usage is:  {{#invoke:Page|(function)|parameters}}
 ---- (function) is one of the function names from the table above:
 ---- id, interwiki, namespace, fragment, nsText, subjectNsText, text, prefixedText, fullText ...

 ---- parameters are:
 ---- page = (name of page to load; leave blank to call mw.title.getCurrentTitle()
 ----    this is "text" passed to mw.title.new or "title" passed to mw.title.makeTitle
 ---- makeTitle = nonblank to call mw.title.makeTitle otherwise mw.title.new is called
 ---- namespace = (parameter passed to new/makeTitle)
 ---- fragment = (parameter passed to makeTitle)
 ---- interwiki = (parameter passed to makeTitle)
 ---- p1 = first parameter passed to functions within the title object
 ---- p2 = second parameter " " " "
 ---- p3 etc. (for inNamespaces)



 ---- Sorry, getContents doesn't work for many applications because all templates are destroyed.  It does work on plain text though.
