Determine the value to be assigned to the specified cs1|2 |page= or |pages= parameter in {{London Gazette}}.
The arguments |param=page and |param=pages specify which of the cs1|2 parameters |page= or |pages= for which this
function is to create a value.
This function inspects the content of the |page= and |pages= parameters, along with the |param= specifier. From
this information it creates a value appropriate for the specified |page= or |pages= parameter. Only one will
have a value, the other will get an empty string.
This function is called twice from {{London Gazette}}; once for each of cs1 |page= and |pages= parameters:
|page={{#invoke:Gazette util|make_page_param|param=page|page={{{page|}}}|pages={{{pages|}}}}}
|pages={{#invoke:Gazette util|make_page_param|param=pages|page={{{page|}}}|pages={{{pages|}}}}}
except for the lvalue and the rvalue assigned to |param=, the two calls must be identical else odd results.
|page= or |pages= without a comma, hyphen, or en dash separator → cs1 |page=
|page= or |pages= with a separator → cs1 |pages=
Hyphen separator characters are converted to en dash characters. Any white space around hyphen and en dash
separators is removed.
If both |page= and |pages= are set, this function mimics cs1|2 and chooses |page=.
Another function, page_error() is required for error messaging because we don't want to dump css markup into a
parameter value that will be included in the cs1|2 metadata.

Inspect page number parameters and return an error message that will be appended to the end of the {{cite magazine}}

citation's metadata.
