New page

--[[--------------------------< P A R A M _ N A M E S _ G E T >------------------------------------------------

this does not work. title_object gets the object for the page that the template is used on, not for the template
calling Module:Check for unknown parameters. Bother.

read the unparsed content of a template and create a list of all parameters used in that template page. may be
useful to replace the manually curated lists of parameters given to Module:Check for unknown parameters.

to fetch the data, use:
local data.known_params_t = mw.loadData ('Module:Sandbox/trappist the monk/template params/data')

]]
local known_params_t = {}; -- associative table to hold each <param name> from any {{{<param name> that we find
local title;

local function param_names_get()

local template_content; -- unparsed template content goes here
local title_object = mw.title.getCurrentTitle(); -- create a title object for the current title

title = title_object.prefixedText;
if 10 == title_object.namespace then -- must be template namespace
template_content = title_object:getContent(); -- get the template's raw text
else
template_content = mw.title.new('Template:EB1911'):getContent() or ''; -- for development
-- return known_params_t; -- not in template namespace, return an empty table; TODO: error message instead?
end

for param in template_content:gmatch ('{{{([^|}]+)') do
known_params_t[param] = 1; -- save it
end

return known_params_t;
end

return {
known_params_t = param_names_get(),
title = title
}
