Like require, but return false if a module does not exist instead of throwing an error.
Outputs are cached in {package.loaded}, which is faster for all module types, but much faster for nonexistent modules since require will attempt to use the full loader each time (since they don't get cached in {package.loaded}).
Note: although nonexistent modules are cached as {false} in {package.loaded}, they still won't work with conventional require, since it uses a falsy check instead of checking the return value is not {nil}.

A helper function which iterates over the headings in `text`, which should be the content of a page or (main) section.
Each iteration returns three values: `sec` (the section title), `lvl` (the section level) and `loc` (the index of the section in the given text, from the first equals sign). The section title will be automatically trimmed, and any HTML entities will be resolved.
The optional parameter `a` (which should be an integer between 1 and 6) can be used to ensure that only headings of the specified level are iterated over. If `b` is also given, then they are treated as a range.
The optional parameters `a` and `b` can be used to specify a range, so that only headings with levels in that range are returned. If only `a` is given ...

--[==[
A helper function to return the content of a page section.
`content` is raw wikitext, `name` is the requested section, and `level` is an optional parameter that specifies
the required section heading level. If `level` is not supplied, then the first section called `name` is returned.
`name` can either be a string or table of section names. If a table, each name represents a section that has the
next as a subsection. For example, { {"Spanish", "Noun"}} will return the first matching section called "Noun"
under a section called "Spanish". These do not have to be at adjacent levels ("Noun" might be L4, while "Spanish"
is L2). If `level` is given, it refers to the last name in the table (i.e. the name of the section to be returned).
The returned section includes all of its subsections. If no matching section is found, return {nil}.

-- We determine the section via the heading strip marker count, since they're numbered sequentially, but the only way to do this is to generate a fake heading via frame:preprocess().

The best way to do this is to feed it a heading containing a nowiki marker (which we will need later), since those are always unique.

local title_obj, category_namespaces, page_data, pagename, pagename_defaultsort
--[==[
Format the categories with the appropriate sort key.
* `categories` is a list of categories.
* `lang` is an object encapsulating a language; if {nil}, the object for language code {"und"} (undetermined) will
be used.
* `sort_key` is placed in the category invocation, and indicates how the page will sort in the respective category.
Normally this should be {nil}, and a default sort key based on the subpage name (the part after the colon) will
be used.
* `sort_base` lets you override the default sort key used when `sort_key` is {nil}. Normally, this should be {nil},
and a language-specific default sort key is computed from the subpage name. For example, for Russian this converts
Cyrillic ё to a string consisting of Cyrillic е followed by U+10FFFF, so that effectively ё sorts after е instead
of the default Wikimedia sort, which (I think) is based on Unicode sort order and puts ё after я, the last letter
of the Cyrillic alphabet.
* `force_output` forces normal output in all namespaces. Normally, nothing is output if the page isn't in the main,
Appendix:, Thesaurus:, Reconstruction: or Citations: namespaces.
* `sc` is a script object; if nil, the default will be used from the sort base.

local catfix_scripts
--[==[
Add a "catfix", which is used on language-specific category pages to add language attributes and often script
classes to all entry names. The addition of language attributes and script classes makes the entry names display
better (using the language- or script-specific styles specified in [[MediaWiki:Common.css]]), which is particularly
important for non-English languages that do not have consistent font support in browsers.
Language attributes are added for all languages, but script classes are only added for languages with one script
listed in their data file, or for languages that have a default script listed in the {catfix_script} list in
[[Module:utilities/data]]. Some languages clearly have a default script, but still have other scripts listed in
their data file and therefore need their default script to be specified. Others do not have a default script.
* Serbo-Croatian is regularly written in both the Latin and Cyrillic scripts. Because it uses two scripts,
Serbo-Croatian cannot have a script class applied to entries in its category pages, as only one script class
can be specified at a time.
* Russian is usually written in the Cyrillic script ({{cd|Cyrl}}), but Braille ({{cd|Brai}}) is also listed in
its data file. So Russian needs an entry in the {catfix_script} list, so that the {{cd|Cyrl}} (Cyrillic) script
class will be applied to entries in its category pages.
To find the scripts listed for a language, go to [[Module:languages]] and use the search box to find the data file
for the language. To find out what a script code means, search the script code in [[Module:scripts/data]].

Given a type (as a string) and an arbitrary number of entities, checks whether all of those entities are language,
family, script, writing system or Wikimedia language objects. Useful for error handling in functions that require
one of these kinds of object.
If `noErr` is set, the function returns false instead of throwing an error, which allows customised error handling to
be done in the calling function.
