As a script developer,
I want to be able to retrieve the title of the talk/subject page associated with another title,
in the context of a foreign wiki
For the local wiki, mw.Title can be used, but that doesn't support representing titles on other wikis as far as I can tell.
This would be suitable for the query info api, which already supports returning the page ids for the associated pages
| Subject | Repo | Branch | Lines +/- | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ApiQueryInfo: add `associatedpage` prop | mediawiki/core | master | +63 -0 |
(Use case is for MediaWiki-extensions-GlobalWatchlist, but actually applying it should be a separate task)
inprop already includes talkid for the page id, if any, of the talk page, and subjectid for the page id, if any, of the subject page. Should we add associatedpage for the string and, if available, the page id, for fetching the info of the associated page, rather than splitting it into talk page and subject page?
OK, looks like this is something I should help out with. Is the main issue that it's hard to do the bitwise math on namespace numbers...? I need to examine this further.
@eprodromou any updates? You claimed this task in July - if you'd like, I'm happy to work on it instead?
