Bug ID: 61354
Summary: Inputs should recognize copy-pasted links to Wikidata
items
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataRepo

If one copies a link to a Wikidata item and pastes it into a text field
requiring a Wikidata item, the JS should accept it as directly being the item
itself, not just the raw text to be used to help find the item. Acting on every
copy-paste might slow performance a slight amount, but I think it would be
worth it. The code getting the contents of the paste could look something very
roughly like this:
$input.on("paste", function (e) {
try {
var oEvt = e.originalEvent,
href;
if (oEvt.clipboardData && oEvt.clipboardData.getData) {
var clp = oEvt.clipboardData.getData('text/html');
href = $("<p>").html(clp).find("a").attr("href");
} else if (document.queryCommandEnabled("paste")) {
var $pasteBox = $('<p>').attr("contenteditable",
"true").insertBefore( $input ).focus();
document.execCommand("paste");
href = $pasteBox.find("a").attr("href");
$pasteBox.remove();
}
var itemId = href && href.match(/Q\d+$/); // preferably with a more
thorough check than this...
if (itemId) {
// do some stuff with itemId
return false;
}
} catch (err) {};
});
