This is the ChangeLog page of Module:Params. All major events in the evolution of the module are recorded here in reverse chronological order.

To test the module's capabilities, please visit the dedicated testcases page.

Changes:

• One new modifier has been added to the module: evaluating

Changes:

• Four new modifiers have been added to the module: combining_by_invoking, combining_by_magic, shifting, and splicing (the latter is the development of a modifier that was already present in the code but commented out, formerly called † inserting)
• Functions that require integer arguments can now rely on integer check
• Code review

Changes:

• Three new modifiers have been added to the module: renaming_to_sequence, combining, and combining_values
• Repeated code fragments have been moved into functions
• General code review

Changes:

• Support for the alphabetically flag has been added to the sorting_sequential_values modifier
• Code review (removed unused variable in the internal function make_groups; comments)

Changes:

• (BREAKING CHANGE) Nomenclature standardization: The modifiers † converting_values_to_lowercase, † converting_values_to_uppercase, † converting_names_to_lowercase, and † converting_names_to_uppercase have been renamed to mapping_to_lowercase, mapping_to_uppercase, renaming_to_lowercase, and renaming_to_uppercase

• Support for the new s slot – created with the Oxford comma in mind – has been added to the setting modifier
• Code review

Changes:

• The dropping_substack modifier has been added to the module
• Made sure to follow the same criteria that wikitext follows when determining whether a parameter name is numeric or not – for instance, previously {{#invoke:params}} considered |0012= to be a numeric parameter identical to |12=; wikitext however distinguishes the two
• A few minor bugs have been fixed

Changes:

• A bug that affected the plain flag in mapping_by_replacing and load_replace_args has been fixed
• The newtab variable in the internal function copy_or_ref_table(), mistakenly declared as global, has been redeclared as local
• A minor bug that affected the module name displayed in concat_and_invoke has been fixed
• A minor bug that affected the error strings generated by with_name_matching, with_name_not_matching, with_value_matching, and with_value_not_matching has been fixed
• The code is now in strict mode

Changes:

• (BREAKING CHANGE) The † rotating modifier has been renamed to reversing_numeric_names
• Three new modifiers have been added to the module: mapping_by_mixing, renaming_by_mixing, and mixing_names_and_values
• A poor design choice in for_each has been fixed

Changes:

• A small bug affecting ...|renaming_by_replacing|...|strict|... has been fixed

Changes:

• Four new modifiers have been added to the module: † converting_values_to_lowercase, † converting_values_to_uppercase, † converting_names_to_lowercase, and † converting_names_to_uppercase

Changes:

• (MINOR BREAKING CHANGES) The directives † with_pattern_isep, † with_plain_isep, † with_pattern_psep and † with_plain_psep used by parsing and reinterpreting have been renamed respectively to splitter_pattern, splitter_string, setter_pattern, and setter_string
• Code review

Changes:

• The excluding_non-numeric_names and excluding_numeric_names modifiers have been added to the module
• Code review

Changes:

• The coins and unique_coins functions have been added to the module
• The following modifiers have been added to the module: new, parsing, reinterpreting, combining_by_calling, snapshotting, remembering, entering_substack, pulling, detaching_substack, leaving_substack, merging_substack, flushing
• Bug fix: Force string conversions in mapping_by_invoking and renaming_by_invoking (see Module talk:String § Protected edit request on 18 October 2024)
• Code review

Changes:

• The providing and grouping_by_calling modifiers have been added to the module
• Code review

Changes:

• The reassorted, mapping_by_replacing and renaming_by_replacing modifiers have been added to the module
• Support for the pattern flag has been added to the with_*_matching class of modifiers
• Code review (filling_the_gaps: made sure that the maximum number of available parameters is never exceeded)

Changes:

• (BREAKING CHANGES) The † mapping_blindly_by_calling, † mapping_blindly_by_invoking, † renaming_blindly_by_calling and † renaming_blindly_by_invoking modifiers have been removed; the same functionalities have now been moved to mapping_by_calling, mapping_by_invoking, renaming_by_calling, and renaming_by_invoking (this breaks compatibility with the former syntax); these modifiers now support a call style flag – please see the documentation for more information
• The renaming_by_calling, renaming_by_invoking, mapping_by_magic, and mapping_by_magic modifiers have been added to the module
• Code review

Changes:

• The imposing and discarding modifiers have been added to the module
• Support for the let keyword (for passing non-sequential parameters) has been introduced in the mapping_* and renaming_* class of modifiers
• Code review:
  • The public interface has been moved to a metatable in order to avoid the duplication of functions
  • A different strategy has been adopted in order to avoid nesting infinite calls
  • The presentation of the code has had minor adjustments

Changes:

• A different policy has been adopted for zero and negative parameter names directly passed to call_for_each_group (i.e. numerical argument names below 1 will be decreased by one unit, exactly like it happens for captured numerical prefixes)
• In case of collisions during † renaming_blindly_by_calling and † renaming_blindly_by_invoking, renamed parameters will now prevail over unchanged parameters
• Code review

Changes:

• The call_for_each_group function and the filling_the_gaps modifier have been added to the module
• Code review

Changes:

• Three new modifiers – clearing, † rotating and sorting_sequential_values – have been added to the module
• The † mirroring and † reversing modifiers have been indefinitely removed (in the code they have been respectively renamed to pivoting and mirroring and commented out)

Changes:

• Support for the strict flag has been added to the with_*_matching class of modifiers

Changes:

• (BREAKING CHANGES) Modifiers † mapping_values_by_calling, † mapping_values_by_invoking, † mapping_values_blindly_by_calling and † mapping_values_blindly_by_invoking have been renamed to mapping_by_calling, mapping_by_invoking, † mapping_blindly_by_calling, and † mapping_blindly_by_invoking
• Seven new modifiers – cropping, purging, backpurging, † reversing, † mirroring, † renaming_blindly_by_calling and † renaming_blindly_by_invoking – have been added to the module
• The all_sorted modifier has now switched to natural sort order
• Code review

Changes:

• The setting modifier now supports the l runtime variable for assigning a last iteration delimiter

Changes:

• Four new modifiers – † mapping_values_by_calling, † mapping_values_by_invoking, † mapping_values_blindly_by_calling, and † mapping_values_blindly_by_invoking – have been added to the module
• One new function – concat_and_magic – has been added to the module
• Minor code review

Changes:

• The self function has been added to the module

Changes:

• The logic of modifiers with_name_matching, with_name_not_matching, with_value_matching and with_value_not_matching has been extended
