In wikiTools: Tools for Wikidata and Wikipedia

Return the normalized and redirect title from the response

Description

Return the normalized and the redirect title (also normalized), if any, from the query part of the JSON response of a MediaWiki search. The response of the MediaWiki API query (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Query) includes original page titles and possibily normalized and redirected titles, if the API needs to obtain them. For a original title, this function returns them, if any.

Usage

normalizedTitle(title, q)

Arguments

title	The title likely to be found in q.
q	The query part of the JSON response (j['query']) from a Mediawiki search. Note that this part contains some titles, so it is necessary to search the original "title" in that part.

Value

A vector with the normalized or redirected page title (target, also normalized) found for the title.
