LandingPage is an extension to MediaWiki that includes in the rendered text of a page the title, user name or real name for the landing page of a redirect or a direct link.

Installation

1. Download LandingPage.php and 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/LandingPage.php');
   

Usage

{{LANDINGPAGE

[page|redirect]|[alt]}} : Reports the page name of the final landing page.

{{LANDINGSUBPAGE

[page|redirect]|[alt]}} : Reports the page name of the subpage name of the final landing page.

{{LANDINGPREFIXED

[page|redirect]|[alt]}} : Reports the page name of the prefixed name of the landing page.

{{LANDINGUSER

[page|redirect]|[alt]}} : Reports the page name of the user name of the final landing page, reports error if the final page is not a user page.

{{LANDINGREALUSER

[page|redirect]|[alt]}} : Reports the page name of the real user name of final landing page, reports error if the final page is not a user page.

If the name of the parser function is prepended with "LINK", then a link to the page is created instead of the name. The alternate text will not be transformed into a link.

One single level of redirects will be traversed, not more, and it is legal to point directly to the final page. This makes the parser functions somewhat fail proof in a scenario where pages moves around.

Examples

Assume there is a redirect [[worker]] pointing to the user page [[User:FBar]], with this user having a realname of "Foo Bar".

LANDINGPAGE

 {{LANDINGPAGE:worker}} → FBar

LANDINGPAGE

 {{LINKLANDINGPAGE:worker}} → [[worker|FBar]]

LANDINGREALUSER

 {{LANDINGREALUSER:worker}} → Foo Bar

LANDINGREALUSER

 {{LINKLANDINGREALUSER:worker}} → [[worker|Foo Bar]]
