Bug ID: 52650
Summary: Enhanced navigation: Support for dynamic,
category-based "Prev"/"Next" links
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Wikis often have groups of articles that lend themselves to "Previous article"
/ "Next article" navigation.
We could use the existing Category system to implement this, with the addition
of a couple of functions:
* A request for the current order-position of a specified named article within
a specified Category (return "0" if it is not found)
* A request for the name of the article that currently occupies a specified
position "n" within a specified Category (return an empty string if not
found?).
So given that our original article (name="PAGENAME") was reported as occupying
position "n", we could then easily have links that jump to articles with names
reported by (n-1) and (n+1), and displaying the article names if desired (or
just "Prev"/"Next", "<" ">" if space was tight), and the links would update
whenever the contents of the specified Category list changed.
This would give a very easy way of creating Category-specific navigation chains
that could be used within infoboxes.
