My extension renders additional links on a page (that is adds some <a href='...'>...</a> to the page text (in HtmlPageLinkRendererEnd hook)).
See small arrows in https://withoutvowels.org/wiki/Tanakh:Genesis_1:1 for an example. The arrows are automatically added by my extension (sorry, at the time of writing this the source code is not yet released).
The problem is that red/blue ("new") status is not updated for links which I add.
Please explain how to make Wikipedia to update color of my links as appropriate together with regular [[...]] MediaWiki links.
My current workaround is to run php maintenance/update.php. It is a very bad workaround. How to do it better?
Normally you'd use LinkRenderer to create the links and LinkBatch to make the page existence check efficient (you don't want a separate SQL query for each link). You can't really do that in HtmlPageLinkRendererEnd since you only learn about the links one by one.
The way the parser deals with this is that it replaces links with a placeholder and collects them in a list, then after parsing is mostly done it looks them all up at once and then switches the placeholders with the rendered links. You can probably hook into somthing that happens between the two (e.g. ParserAfterParse), get the list of links from the parser and use them to build a list of your own links.
With valuable help of Wikitech-l mailing list, I found a solution.
The solution is to use ParserAfterTidy hook.
public static function onParserAfterTidy( &$parser, &$text ) {
# ...
$parserOutput = $parser->getOutput();
foreach($parserOutput->getLinks() as ...) {
# ...
$parserOutput->addLink( Title::newFromDBkey(...) );
}
}

I am creating a MediaWiki plug-in that lists many files. For each file, I want to print a [Talk] or [Discuss] link. (It seems that the original name was talk but that it was renamed to discuss.) These links should be red if the page does not exist and blue if it does exist.
There should be a way to add such links in OutputPage.php, but I can't figure it out.
I know about these functions "foo":
$page = WikiPage::factory ( $title )
$talk = $title->getTalkPage()
But I'm not sure how to get $title from foo.
I'm also not sure how to change $talk into the appropriate HTML. I'd rather not add it to the output stream, because I'm building a lot of HTML separately, but I suppose I can refactor so that instead of passing my strings around, I pass around a handle to the output.
Why don't you use OutputPage::addWikiText() to add the appropriate link without worrying about the technical details: [[{{ns:11}}:Foo|Text]] for example.
Alternatively you can get $title from OutputPage::getTitle() for the current page, or from Title::newFromText() for any title you want to use. You can get $talk directly by specifying the correct namespace constant, which might be even easier than the trip via a WikiPage object.
Correct styling for the link can be done with the helper methods Title::exists() and one of the appropriate helpers for generating urls for pages.

I frequently use PhpStorm's Extract variable & method refactorings. Is there a way to add/extend functionality that could create a new template file from the selected code, prompt for desired template path, and create an include/require statement for that template?
I'm asking either for an entry point into coding this functionality, or extending existing functionality. Or maybe it's already available and I missed it.
As #Ástþór mentioned, there is no such way to change the refactoring templates.
You can use surround with live templates to emulate this behavior. This will not find duplicates and will not replace them as well, but may be it's close enough what you want.
Add a surround live template like this one. Open the editor with Ctrl+Alt+S:
Edit the variables in order to get a nicer UX:
Select the variable you want to extract and select Code > Surround with Live Templates from the menu or press Ctrl+Alt+J.
Adjust the templates to your needs.

I am writing a program for managing an inventory. It serves up html based on records from a postresql database, or writes to the database using html forms.
Different functions (adding records, searching, etc.) are accessible using <a></a> tags or form submits, which in turn call functions using http.HandleFunc(), functions then generate queries, parse results and render these to html templates.
The search function renders query results to an html table. To keep the search results page ideally usable and uncluttered I intent to provide only the most relevant information there. However, since there are many more details stored in the database, I need a way to access that information too. In order to do that I wanted to have each table row clickable, displaying the details of the selected record in a status area at the bottom or side of the page for instance.
I could try to follow the pattern that works for running the other functions, that is use <a></a> tags and http.HandleFunc() to render new content but this isn't exactly what I want for a couple of reasons.
First: There should be no need to navigate away from the search result page to view the additional details; there are not so many details that a single record's full data should not be able to be rendered on the same page as the search results.
Second: I want the whole row clickable, not merely the text within a table cell, which is what the <a></a> tags get me.
Using the id returned from the database in an attribute, as in <div id="search-result-row-id-{{.ID}}"></div> I am able to work with individual records but I have yet to find a way to then capture a click in Go.
Before I run off and write this in javascript, does anyone know of a way to do this strictly in Go? I am not particularly adverse to using the tried-and-true js methods but I am curious to see if it could be done without it.
does anyone know of a way to do this strictly in Go?
As others have indicated in the comments, no, Go cannot capture the event in the browser.
For that you will need to use some JavaScript to send to the server (where Go runs) the web request for more information.
You could also push all the required information to the browser when you first serve the page and hide/show it based on CSS/JavaScript event but again, that's just regular web development and nothing to do with Go.
Assume I have the following code section:
<syntaxhighlight lang = "php">
function my_func($str) {
$arr = split($str, ' ');
}
</syntaxhighlight>
This would be highlighted with the help of Geshi extension. However, I would also like to make split as a url link to the external site with documentation explaining what this function does. Is there like any way to do that in MediaWiki for the highlighted code?
Since Geshi works like the <pre> tag to display the code is displayed as typed instead of parsing it as wikicode, mediawiki can't parse anything inside it. Therefore its impossible to add a 'normal' link using wiki code.
Good news is that GeSHi already have exactly what you need!
First, you will need to set in localSettings.php:
$wgSyntaxHighlightKeywordLinks = true;
By doing that it will each function will be a link to http://www.php.net/<function name> (since your example is using php code).
If what you want is a link to somewhere else (your own site maybe), you will need to edit the 'URLS' array in $IP/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi/geshi/geshi/php.php
(more information on GeSHi's documentation)
And if you will need links on functions for other languages other than php, just edit the according file instead. For example:
$IP/SyntaxHighlight_GeSHi/geshi/geshi/lolcode.php
I have a number of templates that create headings based on a formula. I am wondering if there is anyway to create an "edit" link that will take you directly to that section? The way that it currently works, the edit link takes you to editing the template itself. Could I possibly create a customized link that would keep you on the page and take you to right part?
Here is some sample code to help clear things up...
Template:Head:
==={{{1}}}===
This is a heading titled "{{{1}}}"
Test Page:
=Section 1=
{{head|1.1}}
{{head|1.2}}
{{head|1.3}}
=Section 2=
{{head|2.1}}
{{head|2.2}}
{{head|2.3}}
At the moment, if I want to edit the information for template "2.3", I have to edit all of section 2. (Note that for this example, that isn't a big deal. For the actual templates I am working with on my site, the templates have dozens of parameters and there are sometimes 10 or more in a section.)
Bottom line, is there way to create a custom edit link inside of the {{head}} template that would take you directly to editing the templates call on the page "Test Page"? Hope that makes sense.
Edit: Is there perhaps a way to make use of "anchor" tags? Can anchors be passed in to the URL?
To restate your problem, when you transclude a section heading the header isn't treated as being part of the destination page, so the edit link takes you back to the source. So you need a separate container for the template in order to edit it individually, and a complete section is the smallest editable container.
The only way I can think of doing this is using subpages (or virtual subpages if you don't have that ennabled in this namespace, doesn't change anything). So instead of placing {{head|1.1}} on MyPage, put it on MyPage/Subpage1 and then transclude that into MyPage in the usual way ({{:MyPage/Subpage1}}).
{{head}} can then include a custom edit link to the template input by using HTML heading tags (<h2> is equal to ==, etc.) to suppress the standard edit link and then use one of these templates (probably {{ed right}}) to create a custom edit link pointing to MyPage/Subpage1.
The way to create anchors in Mediawiki, by the way, is to use a <span id="name"/> tag, but that doesn't create a container that can be edited (or at least, not that I've been able to work out through URL tinkering).
I'm pretty sure there's no way to do that. As far as MediaWiki's section editing feature is concerned, the only thing that begins a new section is a line of the form:
=== Some text here ===
with the number of = signs determining the level of the heading. There's no way to get MediaWiki to let you edit any segment of the document that doesn't begin and end with such a line (or the beginning or end of the page).
Well, OK, I'm sure you technically could do it with an extension, in the sense that you can do anything with a MediaWiki extension. All you'd need to do is provide some way (e.g. a special parameter in an edit URL) for to user to indicate "I want to edit this template", then extract the template from the wikitext, present it to the user for editing, and write the result back into the page text over the original.
The tricky part will be extracting the template from the page source. (Finding and replacing templates on a page is a fairly common task for MediaWiki bot writers, so you might want to look for ideas there.) Whatever method you end up using for that, there will probably be edge cases where you need to give up and tell the user "Sorry, but I can't figure out how that template is transcluded here."
