Topic on Project:Support desk

hello there

{{REVISIONUSER}} gives you the user who modified the article last and {{REVISIONTIMESTAMP}} shows the last modification's timestamp. Is there any magic words to display the user, who created the article and the time/date of creation?

regards and thank you for your help in advance

any ideas?

Ok, I have managed to display Creation date using semantic wiki's Creation date property but still looking for a way to display the username, who created the article.

could anyone reply please? :)

Yes, I can reply, but I still don't know. ;-)

A list of all supported magic words is available at Help:Magic_words#Variables. If it's not in there, then I suppose there is no magic word for that.

Thank you. Is there any other way to do that?

Yes, maybe from inside PHP or maybe using the API. But on wiki page from inside the wiki text - none that I know of.

Have you tried Extension:PageCreator? (found by search creator in the search box) - I have not tried nor looked at the source...

Found a better solution:

https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/SemanticExtraSpecialProperties/blob/master/CONFIGURATION.md

Its caled SemanticExtraSpecialProperties. Lets you define special properties such as `_CUSER` which adds user that created the page.

Thanks!
