Module:Archive list

-- This module implements in Lua, and adds a few -- new features.

-- Process a numeric argument to make sure it is a positive -- integer. local function processNumArg( num ) if num then num = tonumber( num ) if type( num ) == 'number' then num = math.floor( num ) if num >= 0 then return num end end end return nil end

-- Checks every nth archive to see if it exists, and returns the -- number of the first archive that doesn't exist. It is -- necessary to do this in batches because each check is an -- expensive function call, and we want to avoid making too many -- of them so as not to go over the expensive function limit. local function checkArchives( prefix, n, start ) local i = start local exists = true while exists do       exists = checkPageExists( prefix .. tostring( i ) ) if exists then i = i + n       end end return i end
