Argh. Apparently ctrl+enter sends the message, whoops. Anyway, otherwise you can use RequestContext::getMain()->getWikiPage()->getId(); On 29 July 2014 16:42, Alex Monk <krenair(a)gmail.com> wrote: > You may already have an OutputPage object, which is a context source.

In pre-1.18 versions, use $wgTitle->getArticleId() (with global $wgTitle; in the function). However, in the skin's QuickTemplate subclass, you can use $this->data['articleid'] (no global statement needed). Do note that if you only need to use the value in JavaScript code, you shouldn't have to change the skin's PHP code. The variables documented in Manual:Interface/JavaScript as available in your MW version should already work (e.g. alert(wgArticleId); should show the value in a dialog box unless your MW version is older than 1.8). for It may change when a page is deleted and undeleted. Also, it is not undefined for non-existent and special pages but rather zero. -- Kevin Israel - MediaWiki developer, Wikipedia editor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:PleaseStand _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list To unsubscribe, go to: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
