मोड्युल:labels/data/documentation

This module contains the data used by Module:labels and, by extension, the templates {{label}} and {{term-label}}. It lists all recognised labels along with other information. The following submodules exist:

The regional and topical labels are all available through {{label}}. The subvariety labels are only available if a language code is included in their data file.

Labels that have the same name in each data module will overwrite each other. To prevent this problem, delete or rename one of them.

Three tables are exported at once: labels, aliases and deprecated. The keys of these tables are label identifiers (passed to the templates), while the values are described below.

Labels

labels contains most data associated with the actual labels.

The following values are supported:

display: The wikitext to display for the label. If this is omitted, the displayed text will default to the label's identifier.
glossary: The anchor in Appendix:Glossary to link to. glossary = true means that the anchor is identical to the label.
Wikipedia: The article in English Wikipedia to link to. Wikipedia = true means that the article's title is identical to the label.; For glossary and Wikipedia, the link text will be identical to the label. To show different link text, change the text of the label (while adding aliases["<old_label>"] = "<new_label>"), or add a piped link to display.
plain_categories: A list of categories that this label should add to a page. The categories are not adjusted depending on the language; they will be taken verbatim, and entries in all languages will be added to the same category. As this is generally undesirable, the plain_categories value should only be used when a label would only ever be used for a single language.
topical_categories: A list of language-dependent topical categories that this label should add to a page. These categories are of the form "[language code]:[category name]". For example, Category:en:Physics.
pos_categories: A list of language-dependent part-of-speech-like categories that this label should add to a page. These categories are of the form "[language name] [category name]". For example, Category:English pluralia tantum.
sense_categories: A list of sense-dependent categories that this label should add to a page. Depending on the template used, categories are either of the form "[language name] terms with [category name] senses" (when using {{label}}) or "[language name] [category name] terms" (when using {{term-context}} or {{term-label}}). For example, Category:English archaic terms and Category:English terms with archaic senses.
regional_categories: A list of language-dependent regional/dialect categories that this label should add to a page. These categories are of the form "[category name] [language name]". For example, Category:British English.

Aliases

Aliases are not labels, but work like redirects to proper labels. When a label is defined here, it "behaves" as if it were the label it "redirects" to. For example, if "American" is listed as an alias of "US", then whenever the label "American" is used in an entry, it's treated as if the label "US" had been used in its place. ढाँचा:label/example

The label that an alias points to does not have to be defined in the list itself. So if you want to make "American" an alias of "US", but do not create a full label for "US", that works too.

Double aliases (an alias of another alias) are not supported, and will cause a script error if used.

The syntax is as follows:

aliases["<alternative label>"] = "<label with data table>"

Deprecated

The deprecated table can be used to mark labels as deprecated. The key should be an identifier, and the value should be set to true. When a deprecated label identifier is used, the label is wrapped in <span class="deprecated-label"></span> and the page is added to Category:Entries with deprecated labels. A single alias may be deprecated instead of the entire label.
