Hey guys, here's what I'm trying to do.
I'm setting up a MediaWiki website for a scientific association and instead of relying only on collaborative writing, it's also important that members be allowed to write "signed" articles on a subject that may already exist.
What I'd like to do is include a string in the [[MediaWiki:Nogomatch]] that would allow the user to create the desired article after a failed search, redirecting him to this page:
User:Username/Article
The original article page would then act as a disambiguation page listing all articles written on a particular topic.
It should be simple enough but I just can't find the proper variable to use for the username in my template. I looked at theses pages:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Variable http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Magic_words
but couldn't find what I'm looking for. Any hints? Is there a built in template maybe for "wgUser"? Or maybe even a simpler way to achieve this goal?
I originally posted my question over here if anyone's interested on this topic: http://www.mwusers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=999
Thanks, Stéphane
