Module:Sortkey
Appearance
![]() |
This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be bug-free and ready for use wherever appropriate. It is ready to mention on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users to learn. To reduce server load and bad output, it should be improved by sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
This module sanitizes and escapes sortkeys so that they can be used inside the data-sort-value attribute of HTML tags in combination with table sorting. Use it when you cannot be certain that the provided sortkey input is a correct sortkey.
Usage
