 <!-- below is the javascript required to 'fix' the magic words in the URI above -->
 <!-- relevant page level variables defined by MediaWiki are: wgArticlePath, wgTitle, wgServer, wgCanonicalNamespace  -->

<html><script>
/* jQuery based
 */
$(document).ready(function() {
   // do stuff when DOM is ready
   fixMagicWords();
 });

function fixMagicWords()
{
 $("a").filter(".extiw").each(function(i)
  {
    if (/\$title\$/g)
     this.href = fixTitleMagicWord( this.href );
    if (/\$titleURI\$/g)
     this.href = fixTitleUriMagicWord( this.href );
  });

};
function fixTitleMagicWord( href )
{
 title = getValidTitle();
 return href.replace( /\$title\$/g,  title );
};
function fixTitleUriMagicWord( href )
{
 title = getValidTitle();
 path = wgArticlePath.replace( /\$1/g, title );
 return href.replace( /\$titleURI\$/g, wgServer + path );
};
function getValidTitle()
{
 title = wgTitle.replace( / /g, '_' );
 if (wgCanonicalNamespace.length == 0)
  return title;

[edit] Notes

[edit] Other Extensions From the same author

Consult User Jldupont's page.


  1. The most recent release is always available through the extension's PEAR and SVN repositories. This page is not necessarily up-to-date.
  2. 2.0 2.1 2.2 Extension:ExtensionManager does not require any modification to LocalSettings.php because ExtensionManager includes the extension.
    Note that if PHP code caching is in place (e.g. APC, eAccelerator), then to successfully complete the installation a cache flush might be needed.
  3. Modifications to LocalSettings.php is only necessary if not using Extension:ExtensionManager
