Template:Translit module documentation

From The Languages of David J. Peterson
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This template generates documentation pages for transliteration modules. It requires a single parameter: the language or script code. The second parameter provides optional text to be displayed after "This module will transliterate x language text".

If the second parameter is not provided, the languages that use the module will be listed, if they can be detected. In all cases, a category will be added for every language, and the category Transliteration modules will be added, with the canonical name corresponding to the code in the module name as sortkey (for example, Module:sa-translit[[Category:Transliteration modules|Sanskrit]]).

Module:languages/byTranslitModule finds the languages that use the module, and the translitModuleLangList function in Module:documentation lists them, and the categorize function in Module:module categorization adds categories for each one. This will only work if the transliteration module is listed in the language's data file or in the language's entry in Module:translit-redirect/data.
