Summary: All core parser functions (and magic words) should
work with a #
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: Page rendering
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
For consistency with future changes, I would like to propose we DEPRECATE all
existing magic word and core parser function names without the #. (While we are
unlikely to ever be able to remove them, we should discourage their use).
Instead all parser functions and variables should start with a #, so it is
totally clear that something more special than template transclusion is
happening. This will also allow case-insensitive matching (after the #) and
generally be happy and fun.
This should introduce support for {{#PAGENAME}}, {{#pagenamee:Talk:Really?!}}
{{#lc: }}, etc. for consistency with all modern parser functions. (Noting that
we are no-longer able to add parser functions without the # for fear of
hijacking someone's template).
