Module:LinkArray

This module converts a comma separated list of objects into a delimited list of links to said objects.

Usage

This module needs to be invoked with a prefix and a delimiter; the prefix is what each link will start with and the delimiter is what separates the objects in the list.

local p = {}

function p.main(f)
	local tbl = {}
	local arrayData = f.args[1]
	local prefix = f.args.prefix
	local delimiter = f.args.delimiter
	for k, v in ipairs(mw.text.split(arrayData, '%s*,%s*')) do
		tbl[k] = '[[' .. prefix .. mw.text.trim(v) .. '|' .. mw.text.trim(v) .. ']]'
	end
	return table.concat(tbl, delimiter)
