c_project_extractor: project_extractor

In wikimedia-research/WMUtils: Utilities for Wikimedia staffers

Description

extracts language and project from a Wikimedia URL

Usage

c_project_extractor(urls)

Arguments

urls	a vector of URLs

Details

project_extractor takes Wikimedia URLs and extracts the language and project (for example, turning "https://en.wikipedia.org"" into "en.wikipedia"). It can handle both current and historic intermediary domains - zero, mobile, wap - and exclude them consistently.

Value

a vector of language and project names, or "Unknown" if a URL cannot be parsed. In the event that a URL can be parsed but you've been silly enough to pass it a non-Wikimedia URL, it will simply return nonsense.

See Also

host_handler for extracting hostnames generically.
