Contents

[edit] Installation

  1. Download LandingPage.php and LandingPage/LandingPage.i18n.php, and save them in extensions/LandingPage directory on your wiki.
  2. Insert this line in the LocalSettings.php file:
    include_once('extensions/LandingPage.php');
    

[edit] Usage

Assume there is a redirect pointing to the user page [[User:Username]] and a redirect [[Some programmer]] pointing to this page, then a wikicode like {{LANDINGREALUSER:Some programmer}} will report Realname if this is defined.

  • {{LANDINGPAGE:[page|redirect]}} page name of landing page.
  • {{LANDINGSUBPAGE:[page|redirect]}} subpage name of landing page.
  • {{LANDINGPREFIXED:[page|redirect]}} prefixed name of landing page.
  • {{LANDINGUSER:[page|redirect]}} user name of landing page, reports error if its not a user page. (Additional redirect in the user space?)
  • {{LANDINGREALUSER:[page|redirect]}} real user name of landing page, reports error if its not a user page. (Additional redirect in the user space?)
  • {{LANDINGREALUSERORPAGENAME:[page|redirect]}} real user name of landing page, or the page name if not user space. (Additional redirect in the user space?) (not implemented)

If the name of the parser function is prepended with "LINK", then a link to the page is created instead of the name. (not implemented)
