Nope. Looks fine and there's no problems or restarts logged.

calling any class from with the autoauthenticate hook causes an error: exception 'MWException' with message 'Unstub loop detected on call of $wgUser->getName from Database::query' in C:\Webroot\mediawiki- 1.10\includes\StubObject.php:54

example code (just add this at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php): global $wgHooks; $wgHooks['AutoAuthenticate'][] = 'do_AutoAuthenticate';

function do_AutoAuthenticate ( &$user ) { $user->mFrom = 'session'; $user->load(); }

Any ideas how to fix this?

Cheers, Peter.

This should be corrected in 1.10.0rc2, which I've just released.

Use {{fullurl:Page name|action=edit|section=new}} (example parameters).

What is the right way (in wikitext) to produce an internal link with a query string? I am trying to make a link to a custom special page that accepts query parameters:

Please visit our [[Special:Foobar?arg=$1|new special page]].

but unfortunately this link renders as:

http://mywiki.com/wiki/Special:Foobar%3Farg%3D%241

with the "?" turned into %3F, so it isn't recognized as a query string.

If I use an external link instead:

[{{SERVER}}/wiki/Special:Foobar?arg=$1 new special page]

this breaks when $1 contains whitespace.

Thanks, DanB

Thanks, but this works incorrectly when one of the parameter values is $1 and it contains blanks. The link winds up including the first word of $1 but not subsequent words. Is there a way to urlencode $1 within wikitext?

What about {{urlencode:$1}}?

Rob Church

Does anyone have any other ideas how to produce (reliably) an internal link with a query string?

Attempt 1:

[[Special:Foobar?arg=$1|new special page]]

This fails as http://mywiki.com/wiki/Special:Foobar%3Farg%3D%241.

Attempt 2:

[{{SERVER}}/wiki/Special:Foobar?arg=$1 new special page]

This produces an incorrect when $1 contains whitespace: only the first word of $1 is in the link.

Attempt 3:

[[{{fullurl:Special:Foobar|arg=$1}}]]

This fails for the same reason as attempt #2.

Attempt 4:

Try urlencoding "$1" to avoid the whitespace problem:

[[{{fullurl:Special:Foobar|arg={{urlencode:$1}}}}]]

This fails because {{urlencode}} is evaluated before $1, so the literal string "$1" gets urlencoded, rather than the expanded $1.

Any other ideas? Or is this impossible?

Thanks, DanB

When would $1 get evaluated? Who's evaluating $1? Where does the value for $1 come from?

I take it you don't mean {{{1}}} the Template parameter.

What I need is the search term being passed to the special search page. I don't know another way to get this value using only wikitext. I suppose I could modify the above source line to escape space characters....

Well, you probably want to avoid modifying the core code if at all possible - it will make future upgrades much more difficult if you do.

I really don't understand enough about the problem to help - it seems you're trying to mix wikitext, wfMsg text and php code - so I'm confused as to what you're trying to do. What's the end goal?

I see,

Well, the next thing I'd try is an interwiki link. It may do the processing at the right time to do what you want.

Another easy (but hackier) way to do it is to wrap some of the msg in divs or spans with ids, then add something to your MediaWiki:Common.js to look for these inject the links you want.

So the msg might be this:

<div id="nosuchpage">'''There is no page titled "<span id="badtitle">$1</span>".''' You can [[:$1|create this page]].</div>

And then your Common.js might have this (be warned - has not been tested):

---------------------------------------------- addOnloadHook( function () { var div = document.getElementById('nosuchpage'); if (div) { var title = document.getElementById('badtitle').innerHTML; var href = "/path/to/your/wiki/index.php?title=Special:Whatever&arg=" + encodeURI(title); div.innerHTML += " or using <a href='" + href + "'> a standard article type "; } }); ----------------------------------------------

A slightly more difficult option would be to hijack the SpecialSearch class altogether and replace it with a subclass that injects your custom msg processing. I'm not sure how hard this would be or if there are even appropriate hooks to do it - but it's a cleaner solution than the JS one above if it can be done.

I agree, though we encapsulate our changes pretty well using Subversion "vendor branches."

• it seems you're trying to mix wikitext, wfMsg text and php code

Sure: here's the background.

At my company, we want our wiki pages to contain certain standard information: an introductory overview, a "Foo" heading, a "Bar" subheading, etc. In fact, we have numerous "standard" article types: New Project page, Requirements Document page, Technical Spec page, Laundry List page, etc. I want to define these types, and when the user edits a brand new article of these types, we want some standard, initial wikitext automatically inserted into the editor.

I have evaluated several extensions that do similar things, but they are all limited in various ways. (I can go into detail if desired.)

So I wrote a Special page that presents the user with a dropdown list of these "preset" article types: Select one, enter an article name, and you're dropped into the editor with the correct starting wikitext ready to go. Want a requirements document? Just select Requirements Document, enter an article name, and click Submit. You're in the editor.

This works fine as a Special page. But now I want to modify Special:Search to link to my Special page. Instead of displaying:

'''There is no page titled "$1".''' You can [[:$1|create this page]].

I want it to offer the user a choice between a blank page or a standard article type:

'''There is no page titled "$1".''' You can create this page [[:$1|blank]] or using [[{{fullurl:Special:MyPresetPageTypes|arg={{urlencode:$1}}}} a standard article type]]

In other words, within wikitext, I want to reference the search term that was passed to Special:Search, so I can pass it in turn to my own special page, Special:MyPresetPageTypes.

The underlying problem is how to pass this value from within wikitext to Special:MyPresetPageTypes. Perhaps there's a way to do this without a query parameter.

Thanks for any advice.

Platonides suggested:

What about using [[Special:Foobar/$1]] syntax ? You only need to make sure your special page supports it.

That worked - thanks!!!

Thanks also to Jim Wilson for his many alternative suggestions as well!
