Bug #: 29441
Summary: Expose CapitalLinks configuration in JavaScript
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.19-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: ASSIGNED
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Javascript
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
Blocks: 29397
Classification: Unclassified
Several scripts have been braking on wiktionary-like wikis since forever,
resulting in per-wiki hardcoded hacks.
Although exposing $wgCapitalLinkOverrides and/or $wgCapitalLinks directly is no
good, a simple array that matches MWNamespace::isCapital would be nice.
The reason those config variables aren't useful rightaway is due to the logic
behind MWNamespace::isCapital (ie. Media->File, $alwaysCapitalizedNamespaces,
getSubject(), etc.)
Since this would probably end up in a loop, we can re-use the loop introduced
in r90096 for wgNamespaceIds.
This bug is blocking proper integration of the mw.Title constructor, which
currently (in UploadWizard) harccodes ucFirst() – not a big deal since it's
targetting Wikimedia Commons, but for core it needs to be fixed.
ie. on a wiki with a case-sensitive main-namespace the following is happening
that could be breaking many things:
> var title = new mw.Title( 'apple' );
> title.toString()
"Apple"
