== Render T as true as well? ==

I have seen some applications use T as an option for true as well. It might, therefore, be useful to have the letter T (t) represent a true value as well. <span style="border:1px solid maroon; padding:0 2px">[[User:CRwikiCA|<span style="font-family:'Courier';color:maroon">CRwikiCA</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:CRwikiCA|<i style="color:navy">talk</i>]]</span> 15:15, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
;Request
{{edit protected|ans=y}}
I request a change to the module to recognize T or t and F or f as true and false entries. This would make the full code the following:
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua" line>
-- Function allowing for consistent treatment of boolean-like wikitext input.
-- It works similarly to the template {{yesno}}.

return function (val, default)
	-- If your wiki uses non-ascii characters for any of "yes", "no", etc., you
	-- should replace "val:lower()" with "mw.ustring.lower(val)" in the
	-- following line.
	val = type(val) == 'string' and val:lower() or val
	if val == nil then
		return nil
	elseif val == true 
		or val == 'yes'
		or val == 'y'
		or val == 'true'
		or val == 't'
		or tonumber(val) == 1
	then
		return true
	elseif val == false
		or val == 'no'
		or val == 'n'
		or val == 'false'
		or val == 'f'
		or tonumber(val) == 0
	then
		return false
	else
		return default
	end
end
</syntaxhighlight>
Where lines 15 and 23 are new compared to the current code. <span style="border:1px solid maroon; padding:0 2px">[[User:CRwikiCA|<span style="font-family:'Courier';color:maroon">CRwikiCA</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:CRwikiCA|<i style="color:navy">talk</i>]]</span> 18:17, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

::I would be interested to know cases where such "t/f" values may be encountered. I know that in command prompts we may encounter "y/n" choices. But I cannot recall having ever encountered "t/f".
::Refs [[phab:T137584|T137584]] (« Allow Scribunto code to add a category without changing output »), which would allow to know on what (and how many) pages these values are actually used.
