[edit] Usage
This extension has two main functionalities. They're both explained in the following sections.
[edit] The $wgHidensNamespaces array
 Warning: |
The name of this configuration array was changed from $wgHideNsNamespaces (note the case) in version 1.4.3 (1.4.2a for MW 1.15). Please, change the corresponding code in your LocalSettings.php to avoid further complications. |
The first option is to use global variable $wgHidensNamespaces. By specifying namespaces in the $wgHidensNamespaces array you can hide the namespace prefix in all pages within the namespaces.
Example (put in LocalSettings.php after including the extension file):
$wgHidensNamespaces = array(
NS_FILE,
NS_USER,
NS_USER_TALK,
);
This would hide the namespace prefix in all pages within the “File”, “User”, and “User talk” namespaces. Thus if there's a user page with name “User:Foo Bar”, it'd become “Foo Bar” when you visit the page.
[edit] Parser functions
The second option is to hide/unhide namespaces with two parser functions: {{#hidens:}} and {{#showns:}}. Those two parser functions don't take any parameters.
Example:
{{#hidens:}}
Foo bar. Baz, 1926.
If the previous page would be called, for instance, “Help:Bark”, it would become just “Bark” when you visit the page.
Other example:
{{#showns:}}
Hello, my name's Joe. You can leave me a message on my talk page.
If we would define the $wgHidensNamespaces variable as in the very first example and the previous page would be called “User:Joe Doe”, the page title would still be “User:Joe Doe” when you visit the page, because you've overriden the setting with the {{#showns:}} parser function.
