Description:
Currently {{BASEPAGENAME}} returns the parent page of the current page; it
essentially acts like [[../]]. For example, using {{BASEPAGENAME}} on
"Wikipedia:ExamplePage/Archive_1/Subpage" it returns "ExamplePage/Archive 1".
The current behavior is misleading. I expect {{BASEPAGENAME}} to get the topmost
name, not the immediate parent. When using {{BASEPAGENAME}} on
"Wikipedia:ExamplePage/Archive_1/Subpage" I think it should return "ExamplePage".
I propose modifying the current behavior of {{BASEPAGENAME}} (getBaseText() in
Title.php) to return the topmost name, as I believe this was the original intent
of bug 5845.
