New page

The main entry point for modules is the get method.

get( 'Title' ) – Get the requested page (exact same result as normal transclusion)
get( 'Title#' ) – Get the lead section of the requested page
get( 'Title#Section' ) – Get the requested section or ‎<section> tag (includes any subsections)
‎<noinclude> and ‎<onlyinclude> tags are handled the usual way and there's also an optional second parameter to exclude various elements from the result:

get( 'Title#Section', { files = 0 } ) – Exclude all files
get( 'Title#Section', { files = 1 } ) – Exclude all files except the first
get( 'Title#Section', { files = 2 } ) – Exclude all files except the second
get( 'Title#Section', { files = '1,2' } ) – Exclude all files except the first and second
get( 'Title#Section', { files = '1-3' } ) – Exclude all files except the first, second and third
get( 'Title#Section', { files = '1,3-5' } ) – Exclude all files except the first, third, fourth and fifth
get( 'Title#Section', { files = -2 } ) – Exclude the second file
get( 'Title#Section', { files = '-2,3' } ) – Exclude the second and third files
get( 'Title#Section', { files = '-1,3-5' } ) – Exclude the first, third, fourth and fifth files
get( 'Title#Section', { files = 'A.png' } ) – Exclude all files except A.png
get( 'Title#Section', { files = '-A.png' } ) – Exclude A.png
get( 'Title#Section', { files = 'A.png, B.jpg, C.gif' } ) – Exclude all files except A.png, B.jpg and C.gif
get( 'Title#Section', { files = '-A.png, B.jpg, C.gif' } ) – Exclude A.png, B.jpg and C.gif
get( 'Title#Section', { files = { [1] = true, [3] = true } } ) – Exclude all files except the first and third
get( 'Title#Section', { files = { [1] = false, [3] = false } } ) – Exclude the first and third files
get( 'Title#Section', { files = { ['A.png'] = false, ['B.jpg'] = false } } ) – Exclude A.png and B.jpg
get( 'Title#Section', { files = '.+%.png' } ) – Exclude all files except PNG files (see Lua patterns)
get( 'Title#Section', { files = '-.+%.png' } ) – Exclude all PNG files
The very same syntax can be used to exclude many other elements:

get( 'Title#Section', { sections = 0 } ) – Exclude all subsections
get( 'Title#Section', { sections = 'History, Causes' } ) – Exclude all subsections except 'History' and 'Causes'
get( 'Title#Section', { lists = 1 } ) – Exclude all lists except the first
get( 'Title#Section', { tables = 'stats' } ) – Exclude all tables except the one with id 'stats'
get( 'Title#Section', { paragraphs = '1-3' } ) – Exclude all paragraphs except the first, second and third
get( 'Title#Section', { references = 0 } ) – Exclude all references
get( 'Title#Section', { categories = '0' } ) – Exclude all categories
get( 'Title#Section', { templates = '-.+infobox' } ) – Exclude infobox templates
get( 'Title#Section', { parameters = 'image' } ) – Exclude all parameters from all templates except the one named 'image'
Options can be combined at will. For example:

get( 'Title#Section', { sections = 0, files = 1, paragraphs = '1-3' } ) – Exclude all subsections, all files except the first, and all paragraphs except the first three
You can also get only some elements like so:

get( 'Title#Section', { only = 'files' } ) – Get only the files
get( 'Title#Section', { only = 'lists', lists = 1 } ) – Get only the first list
get( 'Title#Section', { only = 'tables', tables = 'stats' } ) – Get only the table with id 'stats'
get( 'Title#Section', { only = 'paragraphs', paragraphs = '1,3-5' } ) – Get only the first, third, fourth and fifth paragraph
get( 'Title#Section', { only = 'templates', templates = 'Infobox' } ) – Get only the infobox
get( 'Title#Section', { only = 'parameters', parameters = 'abstract', references = 0 } ) – Get only the parameter called 'abstract' and remove all the references from it
The output can be further modified with a few special options:

get( 'Title#Section', { noFollow = true } ) – Don't follow redirects
get( 'Title#Section', { linkBold = true } ) – Link the bold title or synonym near the start of the text
get( 'Title#Section', { noBold = true } ) – Remove bold text
get( 'Title#Section', { noComments = true } ) – Remove comments
get( 'Title#Section', { noLinks = true } ) – Remove all links
get( 'Title#Section', { noSelfLinks = true } ) – Remove self links
get( 'Title#Section', { noNonFreeFiles = true } ) – Remove non-free files (currently identified by having the words 'non-free' in their local description or at Commons)
get( 'Title#Section', { noBehaviorSwitches = true } ) – Remove behavior switches such as __NOTOC__
get( 'Title#Section', { fixReferences = true } ) – Prefix reference names with 'Title ' to avoid name conflicts when transcluding and rescue references defined outside the requested section to avoid undefined reference errors
Besides the get method, the module exposes several other methods to get specific parts of the wikitext. This allows other modules to combine elements in more advanced ways.
