Module:Science redirect/conf

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 Lua module is used on approximately 293,000 pages, or roughly 22% of all 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 depends on the following other modules:

Module:Science redirect/conf

This module is designed to serve as a back end for {{R from alternative scientific name}}, {{R to scientific name}}, {{R from scientific name}}, {{R to monotypic taxon}} and {{R from monotypic taxon}}.

The template parameters and recognized categories are set in Module:Science redirect/conf.

Usage[edit source]

{{#invoke:Science redirect|R|template name excluding ' R' }}

For example, for {{R to scientific name}}, you would use {{#invoke:Science redirect|R|to scientific name}} to produce:

To scientific name of an organism: This is a redirect from a vernacular ("common") name to the scientific name of an organism (or group of organisms).

Adding or modifying supported templates[edit source]

The template parameters and recognized categories are set in Module:Science redirect/conf. Instructions on how to add data are in the comments of that file.

For debugging, add parameter |debug=true, e.g. {{#invoke:Science redirect|R|to scientific name|debug=true}} produces:

{{Redirect template
| name = To scientific name of an organism
| from = a vernacular ("common") name
| id = R_to_scientific_name
| printworthy = yes
| main category = Redirects to scientific names
| to = the scientific name of an organism (or group of organisms)
}}
