Use from module

Is it possible to use this module directly from another module, or does it always need to be placed on a template page? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:11, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Frietjes: any chance you could help me with the above? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:04, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Something like this should work for you:

	local validArgs = { ... }
	local checkForUnknownParameters = require("Module:Check for unknown parameters")
	local result = checkForUnknownParameters._check(validArgs, args)

MSGJ, see the end of Module:Rugby box for a simple example or Module:Infobox3cols or Module:Flag for more complicated examples. Frietjes (talk) 15:50, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks both, I will give it a try — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:10, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Works great. I will add instructions to the documentation when I get time. Non-urgent feature request: it would be nice if I could specify which namespaces I want to check unknown parameters in. Easy enough to do locally of course, but would be tidier if it was in this module. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:15, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pagenames involved

For de-confusion, pagenames involved:

Module:Check for unknown parameters -- has best documentation
Module talk:Check for unknown parameters
Template:Checks for unknown parameters/doc -- needs a check; transclusion advice 'Use this /doc in template documentation' is tested or applied?
Template:Checks for unknown parameters -- has plural Checks ...
Template:Check for unknown parameters (R) → Template:Checks for unknown parameters
Template talk:Checks for unknown parameters (R) → Module talk:Check for unknown parameters -- was redlink; now talk central
WP:CFUP (R) → Template:Checks for unknown parameters/doc -- R to the /doc, not create a templatename-redirect
Not done (yet): Template:fcup as template R?

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately.
