Hi everybody!
I'm writing an extension that needs to replace/disable the build-in suggestion
feature of the search box. In earlier versions this could be archived by
setting $wgEnableMWSuggest

Hi,
I'm using MW 1.20.2 and I want to get the content of a page for
further parsing in a PHP application. The PHP application is triggered
via a special page (Special:MobileKeyV1) and parses nature guides for
mobile devices.
I tried to get the content via getArticleID() ...
I agree with Antoine. Commit messages are part of the permanent history of
this project. From now until MediaWiki doesn't exist anymore, anybody can
come and look at the change history and the commit messages that go with
them. Now you might ask what the possibility is of somebody ever coming
Hi Andreas
Try this
$someobj = WikiPage::newFromId( $ID );
if(is_object( $someobj ) ){
$text = $someobj-getRawText(); or you can use $text =
$someobj-getText();
}
else{
return true;
}
Thanks

Research Fellow,
I think the best thing to do would be to just avoid getting the article ID
in the first place. If you have a Title object, you can just pass that
object directly to either Article::newFromTitle or to WikiPage::factory.

Its not that difficult to read through the text before you commit, right?
At least try to remove the most obvious spelling errors.
Perhaps I just find to much BS I should have given a -1 or even a -2
in some cases.

While it may be true that there are better methods to call for this
purpose, an article's id should be 0 if and only if it does not exist

I just read it over. The only frustrating thing is trying to figure out
which of the approximately 100 functions in the File class need to be
overloaded and then which of the 100 additional functions in FileRepo need
to be overloaded.

Actually, not I'm not even sure whether I should be overriding File or
FileRepo, because in reality all the storage happens in FileBackend.

Welcome, Ram! I look forward to working with you.
Back in December, there was discussion about needing a better method of
identifying disambiguation pages programmatically (bug 6754). I wrote
some core code to accomplish this, but was informed that disambiguation
functions should reside in extensions rather than in core, per bug
35981. I
To me disambiguation seems like a common problem of wikis and thus
should be a core feature.
On a wiki about people, people share the same name
On a wiki about cities, cities share the same name
etc etc you get the idea.

I agree with extension. For example, my school's IT department uses a wiki

A File object represents the thing that the user uploads to MediaWiki.
It has metadata, a description page, archived versions and thumbnails.
FileBackend deals with storing individual archived versions,
