--converts text with wikilinks to plain text, e.g "[[foo|gah]] is [[bar]]" to "gah is bar"
--removes anything enclosed in tags that isn't nested, mediawiki strip markers (references etc), files, italic and bold markup
local p = {}
function p.main(frame)
local text = frame.args[1]
text = mw.text.killMarkers (text)
text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, '<.->.-<.->', '') --strip out tags
text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, '%[%[File:.-%]%]', '') --strip out files
text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, '%[%[.-|', '') --strip out piped link text
text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, '%[', '') --then strip out remaining [ and ]
text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, '%]', '')
text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, "'''''", "") --strip out italic and bold markup
text = mw.ustring.gsub (text, "'''?", "") --not stripping out '''' gives correct output for bolded text in quotes
return text
