Modul:labels/data/doc

This module is one of the data modules specifying the labels recognized by Module:labels and, by extension, the templates {{lb}} and {{tlb}}.

The following are all the data submodules that exist:

Module	Contents
Module:labels/data/lang/langcode	Language-specific labels.
Module:labels/data	Miscellaneous non-language-specific labels.
Module:labels/data/qualifiers	Qualifiers such as somewhat, also, chiefly and ;. Usually these cause the following and/or preceding comma to be omitted.
Module:labels/data/regional	Labels specifying a geographic location that is shared among several languages.
Module:labels/data/topical	Topical labels such as anthropology and Taoism. These typically generate topic categories.

Labels defined in earlier-listed modules override those in later-listed modules. In particular, language-specific labels override non-language-specific ones. The full list of language-specific submodules can be found here.

Each language data module exports a single table containing labels and/or aliases. The keys of these tables are label identifiers (passed to the templates), while the values are described below.
