Module:redlink category

The following documentation is located at Module:redlink category/documentation. ^[edit]

Useful links: subpage list • links • transclusions • testcases • sandbox

I want to repurpose this for categorising redlinked form-of entries, but it hasn't been done yet.

Initially I will make it functional for English only, on pages with >6 characters in the title, to try and minimise the risk of Lua errors.

This, that and the other (talk)

        local lang = m_languages.getByCode(frame.args[1])

        local entry = require("Module:links").getLinkPage(frame.args[2], lang)
        local text = lang:makeEntryName(entry) -- entry name (parameter 2 in Template:m, Template:l)
