Extension:IDProvider/de-formal

The IDProvider extension provides the generation of (unique) IDs through different ID algorithms. They can be accessed through parser functions, API or as a static PHP function.

Usage
The ApiSandbox will display and document all available options. All parameters are given as key values and work the same way whether you use the parser function, api or a static php call.

Through parser functions
This makes most sense in combination with. There it can be used for auto-creating unique page titles.

#idprovider-increment

 * api.php?action=idprovider-increment
 * api.php?action=idprovider-increment&prefix=Issue_&padding=8&skipUniqueTest=true

#idprovider-random

 * api.php?action=idprovider-random&type=uuid
 * api.php?action=idprovider-random&type=fakeid&prefix=Issue_&skipUniqueTest=true



Through a static PHP call
