PageTree – Module for presentation and administration of wiki pages within a hierarchical structure.

From one unique page definition varoious consistent presentations may be retrieved:

• Uncollapsed path to a certain page, as might be shown in linkboxes, together with neighbouring entries
• List of all pages
• „Sitemap“ with complete tree structure

Page structure is defined by a sub module.

Functions for templates

All functions (except failsafe) have one mandatory parameter with the identifier of structure. More named parameters may be applied.

The return value is a string according to the request and current page name; even empty or error message.

all

List all entries as (non hierarchical) list in alphabetical order.

Parameters: light lineup list lazy stamped suppress

check

Check all entries (for existence of page) if link target.

Parameters: linked – Is every redirect declared as shift?

path

Show path to current page, also related sister entries in given order.

Parameters: lazy segment

subpages

Show sequence of subpages.

Parameters: subpager – Pass sequence to that template.

tree

Show all entries as tree structure in given order.

Parameters: list lazy segment stamped suppress

failsafe

Version identifier (local): 2018-09-13

Optional parameter:

• 1 – required version, or keyword wikidata

Returns:

• (empty), if minimal version condition not matched
• local version otherwise, or registered on Wikidata (2018-09-13) when wikidata or local if not found there

Parameters on function call

1

Identifier of structure

mandatory parameter

lazy

Use more neutral list bullet.

Default: # in total view, * on path

Neutral: * or :

level

Do not show sub pages.

Default: show sub pages.

light

Show complete view all without prefix.

Default: Preced with prefix.

lineup

Show complete view all continously without list bullet.

Default: List, one line per entry.

linked

Show redirects (shift).

Default: No redirects included.

list

List all.

Default: Entries marked by list=false in structures omitted.

segment

Begin path at alternative root element.

If beginning with / then evaluated relative to start.

stamped

Date/time format, for parser function #time etc.

suppress

Omit page names matching this pattern.

subpager

Name of a template for subpages.

subpager=Subpage

Parameter names beginning with l are regarded as true if set to 1.

Definition of a structure

The definition is expected by a sub module, where the identifier has been appended to Module:PageTree/ root.

Format of sub module

• The sub module has to match the mw.loadData() conditions.
• A table is to be returned.

The following components might be delivered in that table:

stamp

Date/time according to ISO 8601

start

Prefix; replace leading / in page names

sub

Identifier of a sub-sub module relative to current sub module; without leading /

The sub-sub module will be imported consecutively by exacly the same rules.

Repeated declarations by sub-sub module will be resolved as follows:

• A younger stamp is overwriting the older one.
• start is assigned to the new value.
• A deeper sub may be gestarted again.
• Entries in pages with exisiting definition will be ignored.

pages

List of page entries as table – each according to page entry format

Format or a page entry

A page entry may be contained in the table pages by one of three modes:

• string

  "pagename"

• Named element with further details

  ["pagename"] = { detailA= ... }

  A named element is required to contain a true value instead of the string with page name. That is the root element.

• table with details; page name is seed element.

  { seed="Seitenname", detailA= ... }

Every page name must not occur more than once in a pages table.

Every entry may contain the following properties:

seed

Page name as string; or true on root element.

mandatory parameter

If missing but named element the element identifier will be used.

If element not a table but string that one will be used as page name.

If beginning with / then linked relative to start.

shift

Target of a redirect

If beginning with / then linked relative to start.

show

Displayed link title

Default: Last sub page segment; else page title without namespace.

suffix

Additional text after linked page

super

Higher page in hierachy; string or true.

If beginning with / then linked relative to start.

Default: next higher page before /.

less

path – do not show deeper levels.

Default: show.

list

Suppress presentation by default if not requested explicitly by list=true.

Default: show.

Assignment: list=false

loose

Mark orphaned root element.

• all – if also marked by list=false then ignore
• path – show for current page, even if otherwise marked by list=false.
• subpages – do not show for current page, if not recurring to a deklared root element.

Default: show element.

Assignment: loose=true

index

Numerical sort order.

Default: alphabetical by page name or link title, respectively.

Functions for Lua modules (API)

There are two functions for test and management purpose:

p.test(args)

args are the arguments passed by #invoke otherwise in template syntax. Moreover can (must) be provided:

• args.self – use as current page name
• args.series – identifier of structure in place of 1.
• args.service – type of action; name of function
• args.suite – path to module; here: Modul:PageTree

Parameter names beginning with l are expecting boolean values.

• args.hide is a table, whose entries are suppress.

p.failsafe(atleast)

1. atleast
   optional
   nil or required version or "wikidata"

returns: string or false

Usage

General library; no limitations.
