Extend pag and num accessibility

  • Problem: {{{pag}}} and {{{num}}} are reserved parameters for proofread extension, logically linked to pagelist tag. It would be useful to extend their use, so that they can run anywhere.
  • Who would benefit: wikicode contributors
  • Proposed solution: to allow to pass to {{{pag}}} and {{{num}}} two additional optional data (index name, book page/file page) to get book page by file page and file page by book page dynamically using pagelist data, into any context.

Discussion[edit]

Thank you for the proposal. I am not sure to understand what you want to have. Maybe API (maybe in Lua) that provides this kind of functions getPageTitleForFile(fileName, filePageNumber), getPageTitleForIndexAndPage(indexName, logicalPageNumber), getIndexTitleForPage(pageName), and getFilePageNumberForPage(pageName)?

Lua access to all data coming from Index page (all fields, pagelist relate table too) will be great. It.source uses a special Modulo:Dati/[baseIndexName] to save and use these data, see it:Template:Pg that uses data, but it's a local, do-it-yourself solution. --Alex brollo (talk) 14:49, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
