Wiki search terms to narrow searches

[edit]

Search for "the world war I"

  • Oh, I thought you were using AWB for those types of searches
  • After some research it appears that the Wikipedia search engine uses Lucene, which led me to this page [2]
  • It seems as if this works quite well:
  • "the?world?war?I" NOT "World War" NOT "World" NOT "War"
  • If you put that in the standard wikipedia search box it gives Eastern Front (World War II) as the second result, and, lo and behold it has a "the World War I" in it !! Woohoo ! so, to do world war two would be
  • "the?world?war?II" NOT "World War" NOT "World" NOT "War"

Template constructions - testing

[edit]
I have edited the sandbox but I am unclear as to whether or not I can test it or find out if it is correct (as I have no clue about how the functions work). Could you please take a look on the sandbox page and check it for me?

You can test it by just using {{page tabs/sandbox}} instead of {{page tabs}}. But the proposed code looks good, so I went ahead and did it. Anomie 22:55, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
I was using my sandbox5 page, and the tl sandbox, but got into difficulties with making it work.
I have got as far as adding the extra curly brackets, User:Chaosdruid/sandbox5, but is there possibly a limitation to the amount of nested functions? I cannot seem to get it to register the last three when testing on the Special:ExpandTemplates page.

OK, that is weird - It works! but not on the special test page, ah well, thanks for the help :¬) Chaosdruid (talk) 23:04, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
