Hey,
I'm managing a wiki for a customer who has requested the prefixes to be hidden. I've installed the Extension and it is shown as being installed, however the prefixes are still being shown.
Version: 1.42.1
What needs to be done to resolve this issue?
Cheers, P
Dear Van de Bugger,
is it possible that this extension is not (yet?) working with MediaWiki 1.39.0? I've tried the following:
- upgraded an existing MediaWiki installation from 1.35.8 to 1.39.0 and re-installed the appropriate version of HidePrefix => not working but also no visible errors
- quickly installed a blank MediaWiki 1.39.0 with HidePrefix only (eventually also the older versions of it as well as the latest master from Git) => not working but also no visible errors
- quickly installed a blank MediaWiki 1.35.8 with the appropriate older version of HidePrefix => working!
I assume I'm too early...

Swap the center portion to
$title = Title::newFromText( $html );
$targetTitle = Title::newFromLinkTarget( $target );
if ( $title !== null && $targetTitle && $title->getPrefixedText() == $targetTitle->getPrefixedText() ) {
$text = $target->getText();
}
Sorry.... this
public static function onHtmlPageLinkRendererBegin(LinkRenderer $linkRenderer, LinkTarget $target,
&$text, &$extraAttribs, &$query, &$ret) {
if ( ! isset( $text ) ) {
$text = $target->getText();
return true;
}
$html = HtmlArmor::getHtml( $text );
title = Title::newFromText( $html );
$targetTitle = Title::newFromLinkTarget( $target );
if ( $title !== null && $targetTitle && $title->getPrefixedText() == $targetTitle->getPrefixedText() ) {
$text = $target->getText();
}
return true;
}
Unfortunately, a bug nobody told me about. This extension has the unfortunate side-effect of causing the first letter of the link display text on every link to be capitalized when only the title of the page is used as a link and when the link isn't piped whether or not you typed the first letter of the page title as a large or small letter within the link; where otherwise MediaWiki would let you use a minuscule character for the first character of the page title name within the brackets. As a result, unless I want to do a manual piping on every single link, I now end up with links to pages that aren't proper names and shouldn't be capitalized... displaying as capitalized. It's very awkward.
This is unfortunate, as this makes the wiki looks just about as ugly as it would have been with CategoryName: in the page title prefix. Very unfortunate. Looking for an alternative. Feel free to suggest alternatives.
When enabling this plugin, links to an anchor are disappearing.
For example if a link is defined as: [[#See here]], it will not be displayed at all (instead of #See here).
I am using using mediawiki 1.27.1 and HidePrefix plugin version (a26af83) (ie master branch on 16th november 2016).
Will this extension affected alphabetical lists, such as Category pages? Or will the items still appear as if the namespace were there?

Or

The tab for the namespaced page has the namespace in it rather than the page title.
Eg, "HR:Code of Conduct" has page title "Code of Conduct", and appears this way everywhere except the tab on the page -- which says "HR".
had the same problem. Added this line before the entry point if statement:
if( !defined( __DIR__ ) )define( __DIR__, dirname( __FILE__ ) );
that fixed it.
