Module:Citation/CS1/Utilities
< Module:Citation | CS1
 | This Lua module is used on approximately 6,120,000 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 rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be relatively bug-free and ready for use wherever appropriate. It is ready to mention on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users to learn. To reduce server load and bad output, it should be improved by sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
 | 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 module can only be edited by administrators because it is transcluded onto one or more cascade-protected pages. |
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:
local u = {}
local z = {
error_categories = {}; -- for categorizing citations that contain errors
error_ids = {};
message_tail = {};
maintenance_cats = {}; -- for categorizing citations that aren't erroneous per se, but could use a little work
properties_cats = {}; -- for categorizing citations based on certain properties, language of source for instance
};
local cfg = mw.loadData ('Module:Citation/CS1/Configuration/sandbox');
--[[--------------------------< I S _ S E T >------------------------------------------------------------------
Returns true if argument is set; false otherwise. Argument is 'set' when it exists (not nil) or when it is not an empty string.
This function is global because it is called from both this module and from Date validation

function is_set( var )
return not (var == nil or var == '');
end
return {is_set = is_set, z=z} -- return exported functions and tables
