This is more a feature request, than a bug.
When listing new pages with Special:NewPages and you moved a page, there will be written "originally created as <pagename>".
Unfortunately, this is plain text and no html-element. So there is no change to format this text with css. Or - in my case - hide it.
Is there a chance, to enclose this message with a <span>?
Using MW 1.27.1
| Subject | Repo | Branch | Lines +/- | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Special:NewPages - add <span> for "originally created as..." | mediawiki/core | master | +5 -1 |
Steps to reproduce:
Then you'll see
originally created as "Test"
after the last <span> when calling Special:NewPages
rc-old-title is the message used
# Display the old title if the namespace/title has been changed
$oldTitleText = '';
$oldTitle = Title::makeTitle( $result->rc_namespace, $result->rc_title );
if ( !$title->equals( $oldTitle ) ) {
$oldTitleText = $oldTitle->getPrefixedText();
$oldTitleText = $this->msg( 'rc-old-title' )->params( $oldTitleText )->escaped();
}
return "<li{$css}>{$time} {$dm}{$plink} {$hist} {$dm}{$length} "
. "{$dm}{$ulink} {$comment} {$tagDisplay} {$oldTitleText}</li>\n";https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki/blob/master/includes/specials/SpecialNewpages.php#L373-L383
So changing
$oldTitleText = $this->msg( 'rc-old-title' )->params( $oldTitleText )->escaped();
to
$oldTitleText = Html::rawElement( 'span', [ 'class' => 'mw-newpages-oldtitle' ], $this->msg( 'rc-old-title' )->rawParams( $oldTitleText )->escaped() );
would be a valid solution?
