-- CATEGORY HANDLER --
-- --
-- This module implements the {{category handler}} template in Lua, with a few improvements: all --
-- namespaces and all namespace aliases are supported, and namespace names are detected --
-- automatically for the local wiki. This module requires [[Module:Namespace detect]] and --
-- [[Module:Yesno]] to be available on the local wiki. It can be configured for different wikis --
-- by altering the values in the "cfg" table. --
-- --
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Configuration data --
-- Language-specific parameter names and values can be set here. --
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
local cfg = {}
-- The following config values set the names of parameters that suppress categorisation. They are used
-- with Module:Yesno, and work as follows:
--
-- cfg.nocat:
-- Result of yesno(args[cfg.nocat]) Effect
-- true Categorisation is suppressed
-- false Categorisation is allowed, and the blacklist check is skipped
-- nil Categorisation is allowed
--
-- cfg.categories:
-- Result of yesno(args[cfg.categories]) Effect
-- true Categorisation is allowed, and the blacklist check is skipped
-- false Categorisation is suppressed
-- nil Categorisation is allowed
cfg.nocat = 'nocat'
cfg.categories = 'categories'
-- The parameter name for the legacy "category2" parameter. This skips the blacklist if set to the
-- cfg.category2Yes value, and suppresses categorisation if present but equal to anything other than
-- cfg.category2Yes or cfg.category2Negative.
cfg.category2 = 'category2'
cfg.category2Yes = 'yes'
cfg.category2Negative = '¬'
-- cfg.subpage is the parameter name to specify how to behave on subpages. cfg.subpageNo is the value to
-- specify to not categorise on subpages; cfg.only is the value to specify to only categorise on subpages.

cfg.subpageNo = 'no'

-- The parameter for data to return in all namespaces.

-- The parameter name for data to return if no data is specified for the namespace that is detected. This
-- must be the same as the cfg.other parameter in [[Module:Namespace detect]].
cfg.other = 'other'
-- The parameter name used to specify a page other than the current page; used for testing and
-- demonstration. This must be the same as the cfg.page parameter in [[Module:Namespace detect]].
cfg.page = 'page'
-- The categorisation blacklist. Pages that match Lua patterns in this list will not be categorised.
-- (However, see the explanation of cfg.nocat, cfg.categories and cfg.category2 for some exceptions.)
-- If the namespace name has a space in, it must be written with an underscore, e.g. "Wikipedia_talk".
-- Other parts of the title can have either underscores or spaces.
cfg.blacklist = {
'^Main Page$', -- don't categorise the main page.

'^User:UBX/.*$',
'^User_talk:UBX$',
'^User_talk:UBX/.*$',
-- Don't categorise subpages of these pages, but allow
-- categorisation of the base page.
'^Wikipedia:Template messages/.+$',
'/[aA]rchive' -- Don't categorise archives.

-- This is a table of namespaces to categorise by default. They should be in the format of parameter
-- names accepted by [[Module:Namespace detect]].
