Module:Catalog lookup link/sandbox explained

--1=, |2=, |3=, |4=, |5=, |6=, |7=, |8=, |9=: Optional unnamed parameters for 0 to 9 items to be listed. Whitespace is trimmed off both ends and the strings are urlencoded as if they were query strings.|article-link=: Optional Wikipedia article name to link to.|article-name=: Optional alternative text to be displayed for |article-link= link in front of catalog link. If not specified, |article-link= is used for display as well. If both parameters are not specified, the prefix is omitted completely.|article-suffix=: Optional symbol to be displayed after article name or link (f.e. ":"; omitted, if not defined).|link-prefix=: Optional prefix portion of url to external catalog item(s).|link-suffix=: Optional suffix portion of url to external catalog item(s).|item-prefix=: Optional text displayed in front of each external link (omitted, if not defined)|item-suffix=: Optional text displayed immediately after each external link (omitted, if not defined)|list-separator=: Optional alternative separator displayed between list items (default: ", ", if not specified). Whitespace must be encoded.|list-leadout=: Optional alternative leadout text displayed between the last two list items (f.e. "and", "or", "as well as", etc., default is the |list-separator= or ", ".)|leadout-suffix=: Optional alternative suffix text of the leadout (see |list-leadout=) displayed between the last two list items. This gets added in front of the last list item instead of the default whitespace which is added without this parameter. This may be necessary if |list-separator= is used not only to define the list separator but also parts of the item prefix (except for the first one). (At present, this is used only to cope with format oddities of the template.)

new parameters that support access icons:|allowed_icons= – comma-separated list of keywords: free, limited, registration, subscription, none, all (default; 'all' implied when this parameter empty or omitted) the icons specified in the following parameters are checked agains the list in |allowed-icons=; not in the list? not displayed|url-access-all= – applies specified icon to all items in the list; accepted keywords: free, limited, registration, subscription;|url-accessn= – applies specified icon to item n of the list (the nth positional parameter); accepted keywords: free, limited, registration, subscription;

Returns true if argument is set; false otherwise. Argument is 'set' when it exists (not nil) or when it is not an empty string.

local function is_set(var) return not (var

nil or var

--[=[-------------------------< M A K E _ L A B E L >---------------------------------------------------------- Makes a wikilinked or plain text label from arguments; when both link and display text is provided, makes a wikilink in the form [[L|D]]; if only link is provided, makes a wikilinked label in the form L; if only displayis provided, makes a plain-text label; if neither are provided makes a label from suffix, returns an empty string else.

--url-access= or |url-access-all= is a valid icon selector(free, limited, registration, subscription)

icon selection may be limited to a subset of the icons with: |allow_icons= may be any of the keywords: free, limited, registration, subscription, none, all

keyword 'all' is default condition; 'all' is implied when |allowed=icons= is empty or omitted

keyword 'none' for use with identifiers where icons are inappropriate (isbn, issn, oclc)

Templates using this module should set: |allow_icons=free for most identifiers; |allow_icons=none for isbn, issn, oclc, etc

|url-access= is alias of |url-access1=
