This module implements the {{about}} hatnote template.
Usage[edit source]
- The
about
function implements the {{about}} template directly, using the frame and applying no options. This should probably only be used in {{about}}.
- The
_about
function can be used from Lua to supply a custom arguments list (its first argument) and/or an options table (its second argument). Options include:aboutForm
A string that can be used to substitute the form of the initial "about" message. It should include two substitution points: the first for the page type (e.g. "article"), and the second for the description of what the page is about. It should also include a trailing space for easy concatenation or omission. Defaults to'This %s is about %s. '
.sectionString
Gives the page type string for when the named argumentsection
is specified. Defaults to'section'
