We want to avoid matching subpagenames containing any uppercase letter,        (even if they are considered valid in BCP 47, in which they are        case-insensitive; they are not "SupportedLanguages" for MediaWiki, so        they are not "KnownLanguageTags" for MediaWiki).        To be more restrictive, we exclude any character that is not        ASCII and not a lowercase letter, minus-hyphen, or digit, and any code        that does not start by a letter or does not finish by a letter or digit.        of that has more than 8 characters between hyphens, or has two hyphens.    -- or string.find(subpage, "^[%l][%-%d%l]*[%d%l]$") ~= nil and string.find(subpage, "[%d%l][%d%l][%d%l][%d%l][%d%l][%d%l][%d%l][%d%l][%d%l]") == nil and string.find(subpage, "%-%-") == nil then return subpage end -- Otherwise there's currently no known language subpage return default end
