Bug #: 34355
Summary: add a variable and parser function for the namespace
number
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.19-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Parser
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
The {{NAMESPACE}} variable always give the namespace text, but this text can
change, due to a configuration or localisation change. Having a way to get the
namespace number makes it possible to avoid a breaking of conditions or
transclusion by a change of a namespace.
Using {{NAMESPACE}} and {{ns:0}} inside a #ifeq does not have this problem, but
when using the {{NAMESPACE}} in transclusion of a page, you have this problem
or you have to use a big switch to map the name against the number, but getting
the number direct from MediaWiki sounds better.
Please add a {{NAMESPACENUMBER}} variable and also a parser function
{{NAMESPACENUMBER:pagename}} (like NAMESPACE).
Maybe call it NAMESPACEID, I am not sure, which is a better name.
Thanks.
