Bug #: 39609
Summary: Limit scope of title-based syntax highlighting
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Scribunto
AssignedTo: [email protected]

Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Currently any page in the Module namespace has its full contents syntax
highlighted. This is problematic as it makes hyperlinking impossible. Every
page in the Module namespace becomes a dead-end page! This is bad.
There has to be some support for including working (i.e., parsed and rendered)
wikitext in Module pages, in some form. I've come up with three different ideas
for doing so. There may be better ideas, but these are a starting point for
thought and discussion.
(1) Explicitly define non-script areas, similar to how templates have a
<noinclude> area. You could add some markup such as a horizontal rule ("----")
or something where text in those sections is not treated as part of the
scripting language (code) and is instead run through the standard MediaWiki
parser.
(2) Implicitly define non-script areas. This would rely on magic transclusion,
for example Module:Foo would have an implicit transclusion of Module:Foo/Header
and Module:Foo/Footer, allowing users to add categories and introductory text
in subpages, but not mess with the Module:Foo page itself.
(3) Create a linking hybrid, where links are clickable and get properly
inserted into link-trakcing tables, but do not alter how the code reads. This
would be similar to Bugzilla's current linking behavior in a lot of ways. This
is my least favorite option.
