-- This module provides functions for making MediaWiki template invocations.

local checkType = require('libraryUtil').checkType

local p = {}

------------------------------------------------------------------------
--         Name:  p.name
--      Purpose:  Find a template invocation name from a page name or a
--                mw.title object.
--  Description:  This function detects whether a string or a mw.title
--                object has been passed in, and uses that to find a
--                template name as it is used in template invocations.
--   Parameters:  title - full page name or mw.title object for the
--                template (string or mw.title object)
--      Returns:  String
------------------------------------------------------------------------

function p.name(title)
	if type(title) == 'string' then
		title = mw.title.new(title)
		if not title then
			error("invalid title in parameter #1 of function 'name'", 2)
		end
	elseif type(title) ~= 'table' or type(title.getContent) ~= 'function' then
		error("parameter #1 of function 'name' must be a string or a mw.title object", 2)
	end
	if title.namespace == 10 then
		return title.text
	elseif title.namespace == 0 then
		return ':' .. title.prefixedText
	else
		return title.prefixedText
	end
end

--         Name:  p.invocation
--      Purpose:  Construct a MediaWiki template invocation.
--  Description:  This function makes a template invocation from the
--                name and the arguments given. Note that it isn't
--                perfect: we have no way of knowing what whitespace was
--                in the original invocation, the named parameters will be
--                alphabetically sorted, and any parameters with duplicate keys
--                will be removed.
--   Parameters:  name - the template name, formatted as it will appear
--                    in the invocation. (string)
--                args - a table of template arguments. (table)
--                format - formatting options. (string, optional)
--                    Set to "nowiki" to escape, curly braces, pipes and
--                    equals signs with their HTML entities. The default
--                    is unescaped.
--      Returns:  String
