Quick follow-up question on this...

Trying out both methods, I see that wfMsg() bypasses the wiki parser and returns the raw MediaWiki text while msgWiki() returns the page already parsed.

Both have their benefits and drawbacks but in my particular case, what I am trying to figure out is how to prevent the links from being parsed by the Linker class and having it apply the <strong class="selflink"> tag if a person is on that page.

using msgWiki() i don't think that is possible unless I somehow make it bypass the makeSelfLinkObj() function? where as the other option would be to use wfMsg() and create a function similar to buildSidebar() but it looks like it still runs it through the linker -> makeSelfLinkObj() thus making the <strong class="selflink"> instead of the proper

maybe i am doing something wrong :P

Any help or pointers to sites for refernce would be greatly appreciated!

Put something like this in YourSkin.php at the desired place, style it with CSS and finally edit http://www.yourwiki.com/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Topnav

<div id="p-topnavi" class="portlet"> <?php $this->msgWiki('Topnav') ?> </div>

(Tested with 1.13)

Hey all,

I cannot seem to find this documented anywhere, so not sure if it's possible... but how can I include a MediaWiki page (example: MediaWiki:Headerbar) to a skin? I would like to include a page that can be edited via MediaWiki much like how you can edit MediaWiki:Sidebar. Is this possible?

Thanks!

wfMsg() is a family of functions. wfMsg() returns plain text, but wfMsgWikiHtml parses the wikitext, and wfMsgHtml() use html messages.

The skin methods msg(), msgHtml() and msgWiki() also provide messages but seem to automatically fill the message parameters.
