FlexiblePrefix

A more flexible version of Special:Prefixindex that lets you omit namespaces and redirects if there is only one result.

Usage

• Special:FlexiblePrefix/Title searches across $wgFlexiblePrefixNamespaces
• Special:FlexiblePrefix/Namespace:Title searches in the given namespace
• Special:FlexiblePrefix/:Title searches in the main namespace

Setup

Place the extension in your extensions directory and load it with wfLoadExtension('FlexiblePrefix');.

Then configure the default namespaces, e.g:

$wgFlexiblePrefixNamespaces = [NS_MAIN, NS_PROJECT];

Tips

• The FlexiblePrefixDetails(Title $title, &$details, $context) hook lets you add details to results (details is an associative array mapping keys to HTML strings).
• The FlexiblePrefixBeforeDisplay(&$items, $context) hook lets you modify the result list before display.
• The SpecialFlexiblePrefix class can be integrated elsewhere (either by direct instantiation or inheritance).
