Add a new User::getDisplayName() to return the name that should be displayed in the interface. Add a UserDisplayName hook to allow extensions to give custom display names for users. Add a $wgRealNameInInterface to use the real name of a user as the display name. To start of the first use of the display name functionality tweak SkinTemplate to declare the userdisplayname and use it inside of personal_urls. Comment: As a replacement in-core for Extension:Realnames, I think your choice of wg var is too simple. Before making my extension I looked at all the other extensions which did realname replacement (there are a few) and they all had different ways of display it. For example: Username - Realname or Realname [username] etc. Or wholesale replacement. I think you could reasily re-use the conf vars from Extension:Realnames to make a transition seamless. Of course they aren't all needed or wanted, but some of them could prove useful. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
