The OrphanedTalkPages extension adds a new Special page to MediaWiki: Special:OrphanedTalkPages. This special page lists all talk pages that do not have an accompanying page.
Installation
- Download and move the extracted
OrphanedTalkPages
folder to yourextensions/
directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/OrphanedTalkPages - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'OrphanedTalkPages' );
- Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Configuration parameters
- $wgOrphanedTalkPagesExemptedNamespaces
- Controls which talk namespaces should be ignored when looking for orphaned talk pages. This variable is an array of namespace ids and is empty by default.
- $wgOrphanedTalkPagesIgnoreUserTalk
- Determines if the user talk namespace (3, or NS_USER_TALK) should be ignored when looking for orphaned talk pages. This variable is a boolean and set to true by default.
Other important notes
- The query that this special page uses is considered expensive. This means that when
$wgMiserMode
is enabled, the results will be served from cache. - The special page may report talk pages as orphaned when they are not. The most common situation where this happens is File talk pages when
$wgUseInstantCommons
or$wgForeignFileRepos
is enabled. - While no dedicated API module is provided by OrphanedTalkPages itself, the API does provide the results of Special:OrphanedTalkPages using the
querypage
query list. For example:
This extension is included in the following wiki farms/hosts and/or packages: This is not an authoritative list. Some wiki farms/hosts and/or packages may contain this extension even if they are not listed here. Always check with your wiki farms/hosts or bundle to confirm. |
