Description

Author: avarab

Description:
There should be some way to pass template parameters to parser hook extensions,
Tim Starling changed some stuff in rev 1.489 of Parser.php to allow for this but
reverted it in rev 1.498 because of some breakage with it.

There are two ways to solve this, one would be to add a flag to
Parser::setHook() that indicates that the extension being hooked returns
wikitext, it could then return stuff like "[[{{{foo}}}]]" and have the Parser
DWIM, the other way would be to bring something like the old hack back, the
former would work for most cases but it would also be nice to access template
parameters in hooks that don't return wikitext.

Relevant diffs:

Store a copy of template args so extensions

can use them.

$this->mTemplateArgs = $assocArgs;

In my extension, I can now do:

...
global $wgParser;
$text = $wgParser->replaceVariables($input, $wgParser->mTemplateArgs);
...

Any reason not to do this?

minimal patch to expose template args for use in extension callbacks, etc.

With this patch, I can now do this from an extension:

...
global $wgParser;
$text = $wgParser->replaceVariables($input, $wgParser->mTemplateArgs);
...
