This module implements title suggestions for the "Bad title" interface message at MediaWiki:Title-invalid-characters. When the user asks for a page with invalid characters, this module checks for a page with the given title up to the first invalid character. If it exists, {{Did you mean box}} is displayed.

Usage

[edit]

{{#invoke:Bad title suggestion|main|invalid_char|bad_title_encoded}}

In the case of MediaWiki:Title-invalid-characters, this is:

{{#invoke:Bad title suggestion|main|$1|$2}}

Examples

  • Foobar>: {{#invoke:Bad title suggestion|main|>|Foobar>}}
