[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #1 from [email protected] 2012-05-03 23:06:51 UTC --- The normalization done in the API during lookup should probably be reported somehow. Also note that there are both normalization and redirects in the present system. Normalization is always done, while redirects is something the normal API must be told to follow. Take for example a look at the URL for "_noreg" at no.wp (http://no.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info&titles=_noreg&format=jsonfm&redirects) and what it reports back. It will report both a normalization for "_noreg" into "Noreg" and then a redirect from "Noreg" into "Norge" (first form is Nynorsk, last form is Bokmål). Actual output is: { "query": { "normalized": [ { "from": "_noreg", "to": "Noreg" } ], "redirects": [ { "from": "Noreg", "to": "Norge" } ], "pages": { "728": { "pageid": 728, "ns": 0, "title": "Norge", "touched": "2012-05-03T00:05:03Z", "lastrevid": 10449638, "counter": "", "length": 59329 } } } } Also note the difference between "WP:T" at no.wp (http://no.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info&titles=WP:T&format=jsonfm&redirects) which is a normal redirect Actual output is: { "query": { "redirects": [ { "from": "WP:T", "to": "Wikipedia:Tinget" } ], "pages": { "1230": { "pageid": 1230, "ns": 4, "title": "Wikipedia:Tinget", "touched": "2012-05-03T21:15:50Z", "lastrevid": 10454551, "counter": "", "length": 126570 } } } } Then consider the same lookup at en.wp (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info&titles=WP:T&format=jsonfm&redirects) which is involving an namespace alias Actual output is: { "query": { "normalized": [ { "from": "WP:T", "to": "Wikipedia:T" } ], "redirects": [ { "from": "Wikipedia:T", "to": "Wikipedia:Tutorial" } ], "pages": { "497846": { "pageid": 497846, "ns": 4, "title": "Wikipedia:Tutorial", "touched": "2012-05-02T14:28:59Z", "lastrevid": 484946903, "counter": "", "length": 4224 } } } } If the requested site-title pair is not equal to the site-title pair in the found item the normalized form should be reported in the API. Not all wikis have the same set of namespace aliases, and the same namespaces can have different name in different languages. There are also "canonical names" for the namespaces that is reported and available for the browser. For example a page in the "Bruker" ("User") namespace in no.wp will have the following definitions mw.config.set({ "wgCanonicalNamespace":"User", "wgCanonicalSpecialPageName":false, "wgNamespaceNumber":2, "wgPageName":"Bruker:John_Erling_Blad_(WMDE)", "wgTitle":"John Erling Blad (WMDE)", "wgCurRevisionId":0, "wgArticleId":0, "wgIsArticle":true, "wgAction":"view", "wgUserName":"John Erling Blad (WMDE)", ... "wgRelevantPageName":"Bruker:John_Erling_Blad_(WMDE)", ... }); There are several values in there that can be interesting, but those are the ones I usually use. Note also whats happend if you try to follow "WP:T" at en.wp (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:T) mw.config.set({ "wgCanonicalNamespace":"Project", "wgCanonicalSpecialPageName":false, "wgNamespaceNumber":4, "wgPageName":"Wikipedia:Tutorial", "wgTitle":"Tutorial", ... "wgRedirectedFrom":"Wikipedia:T", ... }); In this case you will have the source of the redirect available. You will although not have the prenormalized form. If a page manipulates the title through {{DISPLAYTITLE}} like "iPad" on en.wp (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPad) the wgTitle is still the correct one for the page (Note that wgPageTitle has an "invisible" namespace) mw.config.set({ "wgCanonicalNamespace":"", "wgCanonicalSpecialPageName":false, "wgNamespaceNumber":0, "wgPageName":"IPad", "wgTitle":"IPad", ... }); Short answare seems to be to use the "wgCanonicalNamespace" and "wgTitle" to form a new "wgCanonicalPageName" and use that as the page title for later requests from the client an browsers. This will work even if there is no common canonical name among the wikis I believe, but I have not checked. The important thing is to avoid "wgPageName" as it is now. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
