Manual:Special pages/ja

特別ページは、特定の機能を求められたときにソフトウェアが作成したページです. 例えば特定の外部サイトにひとつ以上リンクがあるページをすべて抽出させることも、ユーザーが提供したフィードバックをまとめたフォームの作成もできます. 特別ページは固有の名前空間 (特別:) に置かれ、他のページと違って直接、編集することはできません. s が特別ページを開設することも可能です. ユーザーはこれらのページにアクセスでき、すべての特別ページをまとめた一覧は通常はHelp:特別ページにあります. 特別ページの中には、特別な利用者権限やアクセス権がないと利用できものがあります. あるいは特別ページの一覧には表示されず、ウィキで内部的に使用されるだけのものもあります.

全般的な情報
MediaWiki に伴うおよそ75件の特別ページはすべて と呼ばれ、 ディレクトリに置かれます. 通常、サードパーティ製の特別ページは個別ファイルの属する ディレクトリか、もしくはさらに大きな拡張機能の一部として置かれます. どの特別ページも の定義するクラス SpecialPage を継承します. 特別ページにアクセスするユーザー権限は、作成するときに定義します. ユーザー権限の定義により、特にSpecial:SpecialPagesに表示するか、その他のページの下位に置くことを許可するか定義します.

また特別ページ固有の名称は、ウィキごとに変更できます. 一般形式の「特別:ページ名」の「特別」も「ページ名」も、どちらもカスタマイズできます. 「特別」の仮のは他言語に翻訳可能です. 翻訳した名前空間の名称はこのウィキに「   」として、ウィキテキストで      に記述してください. 特別ページの属名を ID にすると、名称はシステム・メッセージでもサイトの使用言語で定義し直せます.

特別ページにより、入力を許可するものとしないものがあります. 一例としてページの書き出しの場合、ユーザーはSpecial:Export/Sunにより特定のページを定義できます. 複雑な指定を許可する特別ページの場合は、他のパラメーターをURLのクエリ文字列に送って処理します. 例：http://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&days=3&limit=250 （「最近の更新」のオプションで 最近 3 日間の更新を最大 250 件表示）


 * 特別ページの作成方法は何種類もありますが、公式のの大部分が採用する下記の方法に従うよう推奨します. また新設した特別ページの'specialpage'には必ず著作権ブロックを含めるようお願いします. 詳細は を参照してください.
 * 他の人が作成した特別ページに気づくように、カテゴリ:特別ページの拡張機能に追加するのをお忘れなく.
 * この方法は PHP5 以降で MediaWiki を実行したときのみ有効です. PHPの版は新しくても旧版の MediaWiki をご使用でしたら、アップグレードをお願いします.
 * 特別ページは、$wgOut->allowClickjacking;を適用しない限り、フレーム化できません.

特別ページの基本のテンプレート
Most special page extensions require three files:
 * Small setup file, which loads every time MediaWiki starts
 * File with the bulk of the code
 * Localisation file

MediaWiki coding conventions define the three files like this:


 * - The setup file.
 * - The special page code.
 * - The.

Place all of the files in a new directory inside your MediaWiki  directory.

You should name the special page file after the extension. For example, the Gadgets extension contains the file. If your extension uses more than one special page, you'll need more names.

In the example below, the special page's name is MyExtension.

After creating the files listed below, adding the following line to LocalSettings.php enables the extension:

設定ファイル
Example setup file for :

This file registers several important and mandatory things:


 * The location of the SpecialMyExtension class
 * The location of the localisation files
 * The new special page and its class name

特別ページのファイル
The body file should contain a subclass of SpecialPage or one of its subclasses. This file loads automatically when someone requests the special page. The example below implements the subclass SpecialMyExtension.

You need the  constructor because its first parameter names your special page.

is the main function called when a special page is accessed. This function overloads the function. It passes the single parameter, the subpage component of the current title. For example, if someone follows a link to Special:MyExtension/blah,  contains "blah".

You should run Wikitext and HTML output through $wgOut. Do not use 'print' or 'echo' directly when working within the wiki's user interface.

However, if you use your special page as an access point to custom XML or binary output, see.

特別ページはすべて、 のようにタイトルを定義します.


 * タイトルは拡張機能のページで と の要素として、また特別ページでも使われます.
 * 特別ページと拡張機能の説明になっていれば、どんなタイトルでもかまいません.
 * タイトルを定義するのはメッセージで、その構成はキーと値のペアで構成されます. キーも も、英文の小文字の必要があります.

An example of a localisation file in :

In, the message documentation:

Note that IDs should not start with an uppercase letter, and that a space in the ID should be written in the code as an underscore.

The -summary message is optional. It's created automatically by the parent class and shown on top of the special page, usually for a concise description of what the user can do on it. If you don't define its content, it will only be used when wiki administrators customize it on the wiki.

The aliases file
You can also internationalize the name of the special page by creating aliases for it. The example below uses the file "i18n/MyExtension.i18n.alias.php". In this example, the special page  registers an alias so the page becomes accessible at   and   in German.

Add your alias file to :

Add special page aliases to :

Again, you should write a space in the ID should as an underscore in the code.

For the page header and linking, the usual rules for page names apply.

If  is true, a lowercase letter is converted to uppercase, and an underscore is displayed as a space.

For example, instead of the above, we could use, assuming we consistently identified the extension as   elsewhere.

Note that in the associative array for the English language, the string identifying our SpecialPage ( in the example,) is also a valid title.

Also note, the first element of  must be the same as the key ! Otherwise Special:Specialpages will not list the page.

Special page group
You can set which group your special page appears under on Special:SpecialPages by overriding SpecialPage::getGroupName in your subclass.

system interface message, which translates to 'Media reports and uploads' in English; *     * @return string */   function getGroupName { return 'media'; }

Some common values are 'login', 'maintenance', 'media', 'other', 'pagetools', 'redirects', 'users'. You can see the accepted values at Special:AllMessages (search for specialpages-group) or browse the wiki using the pseudo language 'qqx' by going to Special:SpecialPages?uselang=qqx ) and looking at the headings. Specify the word 'media' to use the interface message 'specialpages-group-media'.

If your special page doesn't fit into any of the preconfigured headings, you can add a new heading by adding it to your localisation file, see ).

The standard page groups that come with MediaWiki are listed in the localisation file. For example, the English messages are in ) and begin with  . If you want to categorize your special page under , then the message is  . The value for this key is the text that appears as the name of that category, for example,.

If your special page does not seem to fit under any of the existing categories, you can always make a new one. In your extension's localisation file simply insert a new key for the  array. In this example, we define the  group:

Now, assuming you set the return value for the method SpecialPage::getGroupName as  in your class definition, reload Special:SpecialPages to see your new category.

Constructor
You can overload the constructor to initialize your own data, but the main reason you would want to do it is to change the behavior of the SpecialPage class itself. When you call the base class constructor from your child class, the following parameters are available:


 * string  Name of the special page, as seen in links and URLs
 * string  User right required, e.g. "block" or "delete"; also see Restricting page access
 * boolean  Whether the page is listed in Special:Specialpages

This initialises the OutputPage object  with the name and description of your special page. It should always be called from your execute method.

This method returns an OutputPage object which can be accessed as described below. As in the example code, use

instead of the deprecated $wgOut global variable

This method returns a WebRequest object which can be accessed as described below. As in the example code, use

instead of the deprecated $wgRequest global variable

Some special pages can be included from within another page. For example, if you add to the wikitext of a page, it will insert a listing of recent changes within the existing content of the page.

Including a special page from another web page is only possible if you declared the page to be includable in the constructor. You can do this by adding the following in the  method after the parent class initialization:

You can also define your special page class as extending the IncludableSpecialPage class.

The SpecialPage->including function returns a boolean value telling you what context the special page is being called from: false if it is a separate web page, and true if it is being included from within another web page. Usually you will want to strip down the presentation somewhat if the page is being included.

This is the function which your child class should overload. It passes a single parameter, usually referred to cryptically as  (short for $parameter, as it is the parameter the users can feed to your special page). This parameter is the subpage component of the current title. For example, if someone follows a link to Special:MyExtension/blah,  will contain "blah".

Help page
It's useful to add help pages on MediaWiki.org, where they'll be translatable. To make sure users find your help page, it's advisable and very simple for your special page to link the help page in question:

OutputPage.php
OutputPage.php contains the class definition for objects of type ). You can get an object of this class from your SpecialPage using

The variablename $output is, of course, arbitrary. Whatever you call it, this is the variable you will use the most, because it is the way to send output to the browser (no, you don't use  or  ). If you want to use it somewhere, declare the variable global:

If you want to, you can create multiple OutputPage objects in different methods in your SpecialPage extension. They will add to the output in the order they are executed.

You can inspect the OutputPage class by viewing  (indeed, all of these can be inspected), but there are a few methods you should definitely know about.

Essentially the quick and dirty substitute for. It takes your input and adds it to the buffer: no questions asked. In the below action, if  contains user-data, it could easily have XSS, evil stuff, or the spawn of Satan injected in. You're better off using escaping (such as with the php function htmlentities) or the XML builders class to build trusted output.

For most output, you should be using this function. It's a bit of a black magic function: wikitext goes in, HTML comes out, and a whole lotta arcane code and demon summonings happen in between.

What's worth noting is that the parser will view your chunks as cohesive wholes and paragraph accordingly. That is...

Will output three lists with one item each, which probably wasn't intended.

Note however, if you just want to insert a system message and have it treated like parsed wikitext, you can use code like. This will not have the issue with nested parser calls mentioned above.

workaround #1
Important: these work arounds are only needed if you are making a transcludable special page. Normal special pages do not need these.

As a workaround, you can have your extensions convert Wikitext to HTML using a separate Parser object and then use. Example:

workaround #2
I tried the above, and found that the same problem now applied to any s in the transcluded text. This won't be a problem for a lot of extensions, but the extension I was writing was intended to show wikitext from another page as part of its functionality, so this was a problem.

The process for parsing a page which transcludes a special page seems to be this:
 * 1) Replace  with a UNIQ-QINU marker (because SpecialPage output is expected to be ready-to-output HTML)
 * 2) Replace any s with QINU markers as above
 * 3) Parse everything else from wikitext to HTML
 * 4) Replace all QINU markers with their respective stored values, in a single pass

The process for parsing a page which transcludes a non-special page, though, is apparently like this:
 * 1) Replace  or  with contents of transcluded page (because transcluded pages contain unparsed wikitext)
 * 2) Replace any s with QINU markers as above
 * 3) Parse everything else from wikitext to HTML
 * 4) Replace all QINU markers with their respective stored values, in a single pass

The problem is apparently that in the earlier case, the parsing of the SpecialPage's wiki text is lacking the final QINU decoding step (why?), so all the QINU markers are left undecoded. (This may be a leftover from using the same syntax to invoke transclusion of a wikitext page, which is just pasted straight into the host page's wikitext contents and parsed, as is used to invoke transclusion of a SpecialPage, which must not be parsed at all. Wherever the code is that decides "wait, this is a special page -- replace it with a QINU", it should be doing the extra unstripGeneral before doing the QINU substitution.)

So I just did the following -- after this line: ...I added these lines (the second one is only because the function definition for the first one recommends it): Since I have now documented this, of course, I will now find a tragic flaw with it and feel really stupid... but as long as it seems to be working, I had to note it here. (It is also important to note the problem with work-around #1.) Also, I have only tested this with MediaWiki 1.10.1. The problem still exists under MW 1.14, but this solution may or may not work. -- 18:26, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

In most of the real special pages, you will rarely see  without   popping in.

is a  (i18n) function. See

An error page is shown. The arguments  and   specify keys into wfMessage, not text. An example:


 * 'error' refers to the text "Error".
 * 'badarticleerror' refers to the text "This action cannot be performed on this page.".

You can also specify message objects or add parameters:

WebRequest.php
The WebRequest class is used to obtain information from the GET and POST arrays. Using this is recommended over directly accessing the superglobals, since the object does fun stuff like magic_quotes cleaning. The WebRequest object is accessible from extensions by using the.

Returns a string that corresponds to the form input with the name.

Returns an int, bool, etc depending on the function called. For checkboxes for example, the function  is useful.

Returns true if a form was posted.

Database.php
MediaWiki has a load of convenience functions and wrappers for interacting with the database. It also has an interesting load balancing scheme in place. It's recommended you use these wrappers. Check out  for a complete listing of all the convenience functions, because these docs will only tell you about the non-obvious caveats. See.

As this name suggests, this function gets you a reference of the database. There is no global that contains a database object.

When you call the function, you should pass it a parameter, the constant  or. Generally, you interact with the replica database when you're only performing read operations, and interact with the master when you're writing to the database. It's real easy to do, so do it, even if you only have one database.

User.php
The User class is used to represent users on the system. The global  represents the currently logged in user, and is usually what you will deal with when manipulating users.

Returns true or false depending on whether the user is allowed to do $right.

Returns true if a user is blocked.

Title.php
Title represents the name of a page in the wiki. This is useful because MediaWiki does all sorts of fun escaping and special case logic to page names, so instead of rolling your own convert title to URL function, you create a Title object with your page name, and then use  to get a URL to that page.

To get a title object for your special page from outside of the special page class, you can use. It will give you a localised title in the wiki's language.

Custom special pages
There are various ways to provide your own special pages not bundled within MediaWiki:
 * One method is to install an extension that generates a form to create or edit an article. A list of extensions currently available, can be found at.
 * You can also write an extension which provides your own special page. Writing your own extension requires PHP coding skill and comfort with object oriented design and databases also is helpful.  You will also need to know how to use code to create and edit MediaWiki articles. For more information, please see this discussion.
 * You can also display a custom page through Javascript, in place of the default error message "Unknown special page". In MediaWiki:Common.js, check for, then hide the MediaWiki-generated content (just appendCSS  ), and inject custom HTML  into the   or  . For an example, see w:en:User:Splarka/electrocute.js.

Setting an Extension Title
MediaWiki does not set the title of the extension, which is the developer's job. It will look for the name of the extension when Special:Specialpages is called or the special page is loaded (specifically right before the registered  function is called). In the function execute( $par ) section, use  to title the extension like:

The place where the extension can be found (as specified by what is passed into the SpecialPage constructor) is the key--except that it is not capitalized because of, the internally used function that finds out the title (or, what they call description) of the special page,   the name. "ThisIsACoolSpecialPage"'s key would be "thisisacoolspecialpage."

Theoretically,  can be overloaded in order to avoid interacting with the message cache but, as the source code states: "Derived classes can override this, but usually it is easier to keep the default behavior. Messages can be added at run-time--see MessageCache.php". Furthermore, this prevents the MediaWiki namespace from overloading the message, as below.

Localizing the Extension Name
So you've just installed a shiny new MediaWiki extension and realize: "Oh no, my wiki is in French, but the page is showing up as English!" Most people wouldn't care, but it's actually a quite simple task to fix (as long as the developer used the method explained on this page). No noodling around in source code. Let's say the name of the page is  and the name comes out to "List of Dirty Pages" but you want it to be (and excuse my poor French) "Liste de Pages Sales". Well, it's as simple as this:


 * 1) Navigate to, this page may not exist, but edit it anyway
 * 2) Insert "Liste de Pages Sales" and save

And voilà (pardon the pun), the change is applied.

This is also useful for customizing the title for your wiki within your language: for instance, the developer called it "List of Dirty Pages" but you don't like that name, so you rename it "List of Pages needing Cleanup". Check out Special:Allmessages to learn more.

Also, if your extension has a large block of text that does change, like a warning, don't directly output the text. Instead, add it to the message cache and when the time comes to output the text in your code, do this:

Then this message too can be customized at.

See also Help:System message.

Do not display your SpecialPage on the Special:SpecialPages page
Sometimes you may want to limit the visibility of your SpecialPage by removing it from the Special:SpecialPages page and making it visible to only a set group of users. You can do this in the by passing in a   parameter; e.g., “editinterface”, a right only assigned to sysops by default; see the User rights manual for other available user rights.

Or you can create your own right in and assign it to sysops, e.g.:

and then call the constructor with your right:

Do not allow url access to your SpecialPage
Even if you restrict your page in the constructor, as mentioned above, your SpecialPage will still be viewable directly via the url, e.g., Special:MySpecialPage. In order to limit access to your SpecialPage via the url, make sure the following is in your extension’s  method.

Special:UserLogin ならびにSpecial:UserLogout ページの無効化
In LocalSettings.php you can use the to unset unwanted built-in special pages. See "making a few SpecialPages restricted" if you need conditional unsetting of special pages for example for certain user groups. The general message "You have requested an invalid special page." is shown if users try to access such unset special pages.

特別ページのグループを変更する
拡張機能の開発者の皆さんは、このページの特別ページのグループの節の説明に従い、 方式を実行してください.

MediaWiki 1.21 以降、特別ページのグループはシステムメッセージを編集すると、オーバーライド可能になりました. ただしサイト管理者が実行する方法であり、拡張機能の開発者向けではありません. グループ名は メッセージに配し、特別ページの英語版の正規名称 は小文字で表記します. 例えばグループ「MyLittleGroup」を作り特別ページで下位ページとして「Special:MyLittlePage」を示したいなら、「MediaWiki:Specialpages-specialpagegroup-mylittlepage」を作成しコンテンツページを「MyLittleGroup」と指定するだけです. すると「Special:MyLittlePage」は「MyLittleGroup」の下位ページになります. 後者の命名は「MediaWiki:Specialpages-group-mylittlegroup」で行います.

既存の特別ページのグループを変更するには、特別ページを参照して前述の「mylittlepage」の部分を書き換えます.
