Module:Term Lite

From Zelda Wiki, the Zelda encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This module uses stored terms to determine whether the trailing parentheses in a page name are part of the actual term (e.g. Green Bokoblin (Archer) or simply a disambiguator (e.g. Wood (Character)). It also checks stored terms when the page name has a number in it, to determine whether the term has a # before the number (e.g. Swordsman Newsletter #1). Page names without parentheses or numbers are simply returned as-is.

Module:Term's ability to correct and update terms, while helpful, is not strictly necessary and can be done manually by editors instead. Module:Term is the biggest contributor to the wiki's slow page parsing/loading times. Its current usage is not tenable in the long term. This module should serve as an adequate replacement in most (if not all) cases.

This module exports the following functions.
