Template:Mw lang

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

A template similar to {{ISO 639 name}} that uses MediaWiki's language set.

Usage

This template accepts two positional parameters and has one named parameter.

{{mw lang|<language code or name>|<target language code>|fn=<function name>}}

• |fn= – names the function to be called in Module:mw lang. Valid values are:
  • name_from_code – (default) essentially the same as the {{#language:}} magic word
  • is_code – returns true when <language code> is a valid MediaWiki language code
  • code_from_name – inverse of name_from_code; attempts to return a language code for <language name>
  • is_name – returns true when <language name> is a valid MediaWiki language name
• <language code> required for name_from_code and is_code
• <language name> required for code_from_name – case agnostic, must otherwise match MediaWiki language name exactly
• <target language code> (optional) specifies MediaWiki language set to evaluate; defaults to local wiki language

Examples

{{mw lang| nv | sq }} → Diné bizaad

{{mw lang|fn=is_code|nv|en}} → true

{{mw lang|fn=is_code|xx}} →← (not valid, returns nil)
