    |script-title= holds title parameters that are not written in Latin based scripts: Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hebrew, etc. These scripts should
    not be italicized and may be written right-to-left.  The value supplied by |script-title= is concatenated onto Title after Title has been wrapped
    in italic markup.
    
    Regardless of language, all values provided by |script-title= are wrapped in <bdi>...</bdi> tags to isolate rtl languages from the English left to right.
    
    |script-title= provides a unique feature.  The value in |script-title= may be prefixed with a two-character ISO639-1 language code and a colon:
    	|script-title=ja:*** *** (where * represents a Japanese character)
    Spaces between the two-character code and the colon and the colon and the first script character are allowed:
    	|script-title=ja : *** ***
    	|script-title=ja: *** ***
    	|script-title=ja :*** ***
    Spaces preceding the prefix are allowed: |script-title = ja:*** ***
    
    The prefix is checked for validity.  If it is a valid ISO639-1 language code, the lang attribute (lang="ja") is added to the <bdi> tag so that browsers can
    know the language the tag contains.  This may help the browser render the script more correctly.  If the prefix is invalid, the lang attribute
    is not added.  At this time there is no error message for this condition.
    
    At this writing, only |script-title= is supported.  It is anticipated that additional parameters will be created to use this function.

    Validate and format an issn.  This code fixes the case where an editor has included an ISSN in the citation but has separated the two groups of four
    digits with a space.  When that condition occurred, the resulting link looked like this:

    with the calculated value.  Incorrect length (8 digits), characters other than 0-9 and X, or checkdigit / calculated value mismatch will all cause a check issn
    error message.  The issn is always displayed with a hyphen, even if the issn was given as a single group of 8 digits.

    The embargo parameter takes a date for a value. If the embargo date is in the future the PMC identifier will not
    be linked to the article.  If the embargo date is today or in the past, or if it is empty or omitted, then the
    PMC identifier is linked to the article through the link at cfg.id_handlers['PMC'].prefix.

    returns the embargo date if the PMC article is still embargoed, otherwise it returns an empty string.

    uses, the name comparisons are done in lower case and when a match is found, the Wikimedia version (assumed to be correct) is returned along
    with the code.  When there is no match, we return the original language name string.

    Get language name from ISO639-1 code value provided.  If a code is valid use the returned name; if not, then use the value that was provided with the language parameter.
    
    There is an exception.  There are three ISO639-1 codes for Norewegian language variants.  There are two official variants: Norwegian Bokmål (code 'nb') and
    Norwegian Nynorsk (code 'nn').  The third, code 'no',  is defined by ISO639-1 as 'Norwegian' though in Norway this is pretty much meaningless.  However, it appears
    that on enwiki, editors are for the most part unaware of the nb and nn variants (compare page counts for these variants at Category:Articles with non-English-language external links.
    
    Because Norwegian Bokmål is the most common language variant, Media wiki has been modified to return Norwegian Bokmål for ISO639-1 code 'no'. Here we undo that and
    return 'Norwegian' when editors use |language=no.  We presume that editors don't know about the variants or can't descriminate between them.
    
    See Help talk:Citation Style_1#An ISO 639-1 language name test
    
    When |language= contains a valid ISO639-1 code, the page is assigned to the category for that code: Category:Norwegian-language sources (no) if
    the page is a mainspace page and the ISO639-1 code is not 'en'.  Similarly, if the  parameter is |language=Norwegian, it will be categorized in the same way.
