Module:Broader/doc
This is the documentation page for Module:Broader
This module produces a "for a broader coverage related to this topic" link. It implements the {{broader}} template.
Use from wikitext
This module cannot be used directly from #invoke. Instead, it can only be used through the {{broader}} template. Please see the template page for documentation.
Use from other Lua modules
Load the module:
local mBroader = require('Module:Broader')
You can then use the _broader function like this:
mBroader._broader(page, topic, options)
The page variable is the page to be linked to, and is required. The page name can include a section link if desired. If the page includes a section link, it is automatically formatted as page § section, rather than the MediaWiki default of page#section.
The topic variable is a description of the topic, and is optional. The default topic value is "this topic".
The options table can be used to configure the function's output. At current, the only option available is "selfref", which is used when the output is a self-reference to LIMSwiki. to set this option, use {selfref = true}
