--[[
|1=, |2=, |3=, |4=, |5=, |6=, |7=, |8=, |9=: Optional unnamed parameters for 0 to 9 items to be listed.
	Whitespace is trimmed off both ends and the strings are urlencoded as if they were query strings.
|article-link=: Optional Wikipedia article name to link to.
|article-name=: Optional alternative text to be displayed for |article-link= link in front of catalog link.
	If not specified, |article-link= is used for display as well. If both parameters are not specified, the prefix is omitted completely.
|article-postfix=: Optional symbol to be displayed after article name or link (f.e. ":"; omitted, if not defined).
|link-prefix=: Optional prefix portion of url to external catalog item(s).
|link-postfix=: Optional postfix portion of url to external catalog item(s).
|item-prefix=: Optional text displayed in front of each external link (omitted, if not defined)
|item-postfix=: Optional text displayed immediately after each external link (omitted, if not defined)
|list-separator=: Optional alternative separator displayed between list items (default: ", ", if not specified). Whitespace must be encoded.
|list-leadout=: Optional alternative leadout text displayed between the last two list items (f.e. "and", "or", "as well as", etc., default is the |list-separator= or ", ".)
|leadout-postfix=: Optional alternative postfix text of the leadout (see |list-leadout=) displayed between the last two list items.
	This gets added in front of the last list item instead of the default whitespace which is added without this parameter.
	This may be necessary if |list-separator= is used not only to define the list separator but also parts of the item prefix
	(except for the first one). (At present, this is used only to cope with format oddities of the {{MR}} template.)

Makes a wikilinked or plain text label from arguments; when both link and display text is provided, makes a
wikilink in the form [[L|D]]; if only link is provided, makes a wikilinked label in the form [[L]]; if only display
is provided, makes a plain-text label; if neither are provided makes a label from postfix, returns an empty string else.
