Reading numbers from titles
Hi. Could anybody help me how to read only numbers from titles with different parametres (e.g. the title is "1256 something" and the template should extract only "1256"; or the title is "something 358 something" and the template should extract only "358")? I tried it by using different magic words, but they appeared to be useless in this case. I'd also like to know if it's possible to create a template that will read the words from the title in a given order (e.g. the title is "Canis Minor" and the template should read only the second word, i.e. "Minor"). Thanks.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 07:48, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Is there an easy way to get the total number of subpages in a category such as ? This would be useful for keeping track of members of maintenance categories that are segregated by month or year. Technical 13 (talk) 15:44, 22 May 2013 (UTC)


 * No, and this could be a highly expensive parser function. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:12, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Is there any way to get revision information using the magic words for another page such as getting  or   from  ? This would be useful for keeping track of articles in a project for a list of pages. Technical 13 (talk) 15:44, 22 May 2013 (UTC)


 * No. This can be handled by a DynamicPageList extension, though. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) 09:11, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

_NOEDITSECTION_ on every page?
Hey there, I am using Mediawiki and I have problems with partly editing of pages, so I want to disable the "edit section" Button for the whole wiki. Is this possible?
 * If there was such a thing, I would think it would be listed on Manual:Configuration settings (alphabetical), which it is not. However, depending on which version of MediaWiki you are running you could just set the class (use to be   but was recently renamed   on some wikis like en.wikipedia) for to   in your MediaWiki:Common.css --  Technical 13 (talk) 12:48, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Could someone please add the necessary documentation for __DISAMBIG__ (Extension:Disambiguator) here and, if you could be so kind, also at en:Wikipedia:Magic words? Thank you. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 13:48, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
