 * I had this same issue and used the same fix with versions:

Seems not to work with v1.13
I just added the extension to my wikis. They all run on v1.13. I recieve the error message: Use of undefined constant MAG_NUMBEREDHEADINGS - assumed 'MAG_NUMBEREDHEADINGS' in C:\Programme\Wamp\www\w\extensions\MagicNumberedHeadings\MagicNumberedHeadings.php Compilation failed: invalid UTF-8 string at offset 3 in C:\Programme\Wamp\www\w\includes\MagicWord.php

Does anyone have an idea?

thanks in advance best regards --TurboKanne 11:02, 23 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Probably those Ü and Ö letters at lines 71 and 74 (cases de and ksh). Delete those lines (just leave the default line), take them in those /** */ brackets for PHP comments (of course NOT the default lines), or replace the respecting magic words for those languages with ones without umlauts. (I chose the second option, and now it works.) -- JörgM 84.156.139.3 20:54, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * And for the first line of the error message try what the users in the thread above have done. -- JörgM 84.156.139.3 20:56, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Problems with templates
I tried to use __NUMBEREDHEADINGS__ inside a template that is used in several articles. Instead of the headings numbered, i get the text "__NUMBEREDHEADINGS__". It seems, that the magic word is not "replaced".

If i use __NUMBEREDHEADINGS__ on a standard page it works perfect.

--Planetenxin 14:00, 16 October 2008 (UTC) The problem is that when the  hook gets called, only the text of the page is available, the template hasn't been expanded yet. Only one hook is available (at least in MW 1.16) that allows a change to the header option before it's too late after all templates have been processed, and that's InternalParseBeforeLinks. To get MagicNumberedHeadings to work, edit MagicNumberedHeadings.php and make these changes (don't get on me about the remedial patch syntax, I'm doing it for the kids): ... around line 52 REMOVE: $wgHooks['ParserBeforeInternalParse'][] = 'MagicNumberedHeadingsParserBeforeInternalParse'; ADD: $wgHooks['InternalParseBeforeLinks'][] = 'MagicNumberedHeadingsInternalParseBeforeLinks';

... around line 90 REMOVE: function MagicNumberedHeadingsParserBeforeInternalParse($parser, $text, $stripState) ADD: function MagicNumberedHeadingsInternalParseBeforeLinks($parser, $text, $stripState) This applies to a few other extensions I saw, so if you're searching for "why doesn't it work in a template" problems, take a look here too. --Skew 20:30, 21 April 2011 (UTC)


 * That's terrific! Thanks for the hint. --Nakohdo 18:26, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

NoWiki trick for Special:Version
Putting the whole magic word in MagicNumberedHeadings.php between tags like so doesn't seem to work on Special:Version:

__NUMBEREDHEADINGS__

However, putting the tags around only part of the magic word does the trick:

__ NUMBEREDHEADINGS__

Doesn't seem to work in 1.19
I tried to use this for the first time with 1.19 but it doesn't seem to recognize and replace the magic word. Is anyone using this with a more modern version of Mediawiki?

I made the suggested changes to the script but still no luck.

Thanks!

 * Does work as promised on MediaWiki 1.20.2, PHP 5.3.21 (apache2handler) --Nakohdo (talk) 12:28, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Running in MW 1.21 - changed code
The extension works in MW 1.21. Since I had to change different parts of the code and the code is short, I post the complete file rather than describing the changes individually:
 * MagicNumberedHeadings.php

Kappa (talk) 10:16, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
 * MagicNumberedHeadings.i18n.php

This changes are working for me thank you! (MediaWiki Version 1.22.4)

Is it planned to add this changes into the regular source?

MediaWiki 1.23 -- __ NUMBEREDHEADINGS__ won't disappear from the wikipage
I use MagicNumberedHeadings with my MediaWiki 1.23. It works as intended (forces headings numbering on a page), but the magic word __NUMBEREDHEADINGS__ won't disappear from the page, as it used to in 1.21. I've examined the code, but it seems I don't understand all those hooks and stuff good enough. Any help? Another clue (I don't know whether this is important): The problem has appeared after a semi-successful upgrade of Apache 2 (there has been issues with a new format of Apache's config files in Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS). I upgraded the MediaWiki to 1.23 straight away after I solved the problems with the Apache. I have not noticed exactly when the problem with the magic word appeared. --Пика Пика (talk) 12:06, 4 September 2014 (UTC)


 * I had the same problem, but I figured out what's wrong. The arguments for the main function are not properly assigned by reference.  What's happening is that the function is duplicated the data instead of referring to the main data.  Instead, the arguments need to be  .  In other words, the function line should read:  . --Nick2253 (talk) 21:58, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
