Determine the value to be assigned to the specified cs1|2 |page= or |pages= parameter in. The arguments |param=page and |param=pages specify which of the cs1|2 parameters |page= or |pages= for which this function is to create a value.

This function inspects the content of the |page= and |pages= parameters, along with the |param= specifier. From this information it creates a value appropriate for the specified |page= or |pages= parameter. Only one will have a value, the other will get an empty string.

This function is called twice from ; once for each of cs1 |page= and |pages= parameters: |page= |pages=

except for the lvalue and the rvalue assigned to |param=, the two calls must be identical else odd results.


 * page= or |pages= without a comma, hyphen, or en dash separator → cs1 |page=
 * page= or |pages= with a separator → cs1 |pages=

Hyphen separator characters are converted to en dash characters. Any white space around hyphen and en dash separators is removed.

If both |page= and |pages= are set, this function mimics cs1|2 and chooses |page=.

Another function, page_error is required for error messaging because we don't want to dump css markup into a parameter value that will be included in the cs1|2 metadata.
