JSTOR – Module for generation of formatted external links to resources in JSTOR system.

Functions for templates

f

Format resource link

Parameters from template transclusion; all optional (but need to result in an identifier):

1

Identifier: article ID, ISSN etc.

mandatory

show

Link title

default: generated from ID

suite

Archive type

• stable – stable article ID (default)
• journals – ISSN

demo

1 – suppress all hiding of error messages, e.g. in context of documentations; also do not issue any maintenance category.

Parameters with #invoke for project specific adaption; all optional:

errCat

Title of a maintenance category on invalid parameter value etc.

errClasses

Classes, to be assigned to error messages, like error

errHide

1 – hide error messages by default

errNS

Space separated list of namespace numbers where to use errCat

default: all pages, all namespaces, if errCat defined

showArticle

Page name for JSTOR explanation link target – default: JSTOR

empty value: do not link explanation

Returns: links and perhaps error messages with class="error".

failsafe

Version management

The Failsafe interface is heading for version management of globally distributed Lua modules. It enables modules equipped with this interface to

• ensure, that a library module required by a template or another module available as local copy does support certain functionality, or complain if not.
• administrate global updating and linking of module codes via Wikidata.

The Failsafe interface is present both at template level and for direct Lua access.

The functions in detail are (not all supported yet completely by every library):

Parameter

Value	Result	current
nothing false	local version ID	»2024-09-22«
Minimal version	version ID required at least date in ISO format It will be compared whether the current local implementation matches this version or later. empty, if minimal version not achieved	2001-01-01 → »2024-09-22« 2099-01-01 → »«
wikidata	version ID of global upstream version ID at Wikidata local, if not found there	»2024-09-22«
item	ID of the Wikidata item empty if not defined	Q71782977
~	Corresponding version ID locally and registered at Wikidata empty, if up to date version ID at Wikidata, if not equal	»«
@	Is the current (module) page linked correctly with Wikidata item? empty, if linked to the item which is supposed Iitem ID, if not
The return value is in template programming empty or under Lua false, otherwis a non-empty string as described.

Functions for Lua modules (API)

Some of the functions as dokumented above can be used by other modules per require():

local lucky, JSTOR = pcall( require, "Module:JSTOR" )
if type( JSTOR ) == "table" then
    JSTOR = JSTOR()
else
    -- failure; JSTOR is the error message
    return "<span class=\"error\">" .. JSTOR .. "</span>"
end

Then there is available:

JSTOR.feasible( article, area, auxilary )

Check code, normalize

1. article
   string, with JSTOR ID
2. area
   string, with with "stable", "journals", or false
3. auxilary
   table, URIutil library, or false

Returns: string with improved ID, or false

JSTOR.format( article, area, appear, auxilary )

Analyze code, create URL, format like f

1. article
   string, with JSTOR ID
2. area
   string, with with "stable", "journals", or false
3. appear
   string, with link title, or false
4. auxilary
   table, URIutil library, or false

Returns: string with links and error messages

JSTOR.failsafe( atleast )

Version management

Returns: string oder false

If the interface is not initialized, one more function might be used:

• p.main( argsF, argsT )

  Invocation

  1. argsF
     table, with #invoke parameters, or false
  2. argsT
     table, with template parameters, or false

  Returns: string with formatting etc.
