Module:translit-redirect

This module replaces transliteration modules that don't generate transliteration. It takes language and script code and redirects to the actual transliteration module that handles this combination of codes, using Module:translit-redirect/data. It has replaced transliteration modules like Module:pa-translit. Languages whose transliteration is handled by this module: Antigong Griyego (grc) , Aramaic (arc) , Ashokan Prakrit (inc-ash) , Bhojpuri (bho) , Kashmiri (ks) , Kipchak (qwm) , Konkani (kok) , Kurdish (ku) , Lomavren (rmi) , Lü (khb) , Middle Persian (pal) , Newar (new) , Northern Kurdish (kmr) , Old Marathi (omr) , Pali (pi) , Parthian (xpr) , Punjabi (pa) , Sanskrit (sa) , Sogdian (sog) , Udi (udi) , Wakhi (wbl) .

Using a single module to redirect to other transliteration modules will save some Lua memory on pages that tend to go over the memory limit. Also, the template that generates documentation for transliteration modules ({{translit module documentation}}) can only discover that a language uses a transliteration module, and list that language on the transliteration module's documentation page, if the transliteration module is listed either in the language's data file, or in Module:translit-redirect/data.

Examples

pa (Punjabi) uses this module to redirect to the correct transliteration module for whatever script is being used.

• Gurmukhi: → Plantilya:xlit
• Shahmukhi: → Plantilya:xlit
