Does anyone know how I might go about discovering whether I'm viewing Special:WhatLinksHere from within a SkinTemplateNavigation hook?
Well as usual asking the question is all you need to find the answer out yourself ;-)
I found I can use Title::isSpecial() to check for a specific page. In my case I check $wgTitle->isSpecial('Whatlinkshere'), which is true if I'm looking at Special:WhatLinksHere.
I'll also need the name of the page being investigated ("SomePage" in the above example) so I can use it in a URL.
Unfortunately this hasn't been so easy. The docs suggest Title::getSubpageText() would almost work (it's supposed to return "Baz" from "User:Foo/Bar/Baz" which isn't enough, I need "Bar/Baz") but again it doesn't seem to work properly on the special page and it returns "WhatLinksHere/User:Foo/Bar/Baz" instead.
Any idea how I can get rid of "WhatLinksHere" from the front?
Thanks, Adam.
