have an initial capital. This isn't recommended in general, as it will
make "[[Asteroid]]s are..." and "... like [[asteroid]]s." point to
different pages.
It is meant mainly for languages which use the latin alphabet but don't
capitalize at sentence start (mainly conlangs) or for special purposes
where this is needed. This can *break links* and should not be changed
on an existing wiki without careful attention.
* Split MediaWiki namespace into MediaWiki and Template (requires changes to all language files)
* Purge links to on edit of Template namespace
* General refactoring of purging and cache invalidation code
Thanks to gwicke on irc for teaching me how to stop + or * to be greedy (ie replace by +? and *?).
Space around column are striped from link but the link title still show the spaces.
Disallow the creation of articles with titles wich are bigger than the size of cur_title in the database. Please review this code, it is working but I am not sure if it is safe :)
object to encapsulate the handling of get/post variables:
The following grab something out of $_REQUEST. The first parameter is the
variable name and is required. The second is an optional default value:
$wgRequest->getVal() - any type, returns NULL if no default given
$wgRequest->getInt() - forced integer, 0 default
$wgRequest->getText() - runs through $wgLang->recodeInput()
$wgRequest->getBool() - return true/false
$wgRequest->getCheck() - returns true if the var is set, even if to ""
$wgRequest strips slashes at initialization if necessary.
Also in this fine object:
$wgRequest->wasPosted() - returns false if this wasn't a real form post,
so we can protect against faked submissions in get urls.
There's still plenty of work to do, not everything uses the new functions
yet. To test the strict mode, do define('DEBUG_GLOBALS', 1);
practical, clear methods:
Title::getLocalURL() - "/wiki/index.php/Foobar" or "/wiki/index.php?title=Foobar&action=edit"
Title::getFullUrl() - ditto with $wgServer on the front
Title::getInternalUrl() - ditto with $wgInternalServer on the front (for some squid-related functions)
Title::escapeLocalUrl() - local URL escaped for HTML output
Title::escapeFullUrl() - full URL escaped for HTML output
All take an optional query parameter.
Title::getURL(), wfFullUrl() and wfFullUrlE() are now officially
deprecated and will result in instant death. wfLocalUrl() and wfLocalUrlE()
will be killed shortly; they are still used in the language files.
* Converted many instances of globals from the query to $_REQUEST
* Renamed near-useless Title::getURL() to Title::getPartialURL()
* Created new Title::getURL(), to replace wfLocalUrl, wfLocalUrlE, wfFullUrl and wfFullUrlE. Replaced most instances throughout the code
* In Parser.php, generalised stripping of <nowiki>, <pre> and <math> to allow more general use such as nesting
* Moved body of Article::preSaveTransform to Parser.php
* Put lots of comments in Title.php
* Misc. bugs fixed in DatabaseFunctions.php and Skin.php.
* install-utils, install and update utilise Database objects instead of handling their own connections
* schema change for RC improvement -- added rc_type, rc_moved_to_title and rc_moved_to_ns
use UTF-8 characters on a UTF-8 wiki for the Latin-1 named entities; this
prevents corrupt in-wiki links for cases such as [[Weiß kreuz]] or
[[Brûker:Foo]]. There is a small chance this will harm interwiki
links to latin-1 wikis that don't accept UTF-8 incoming URLs, but on
balance this is a lesser harm. Raw bytes in such links can still be used
(%XX) if need be.
This shouldn't change behavior on Latin-1 wikis.
