Krinkle <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #18 from Krinkle <[email protected]> 2011-08-02 14:15:23 UTC --- So before we go and introduce this. Can we please get back or describe a usecase for this ? The original request wanted to the author username and/or permalink to the first revision, that's not what introducing {{PAGEID}} will do. At some later point there were references to *JavaScript* variables named wgArticleId which already work in MediaWiki and have been for sometime, so we won't need {{PAGEID}} in *wikitext* for that. I'm in general a bit leery on introducing magic words, especially ones that work on top of technical implementation details which are usually not interesting to the user. So base question (keeping in mind that I'm not against this variable, just want to make sure we do it for a good reason): Why do we need {{PAGEID}} as a magic word in core and what should it enable to do (usecases).
