Description Misza 2008-02-01 23:31:38 UTC

Please create an equivalent of {{BASEPAGENAME}} that cuts not only the last level of a page's name but all the way up to the "ground" level.

For example, on page [[User talk:Example/Archives/2008/January]]:
* {{BASEPAGENAME}} returns "Example/Archives/2008"
* proposed {{REALBASEPAGENAME}} (or whatever you name it) returns just "Example"

(Don't forget the URL-friendly {{REALBASEPAGENAMEE}}.)

Comment 1 Danny B. 2008-02-01 23:36:58 UTC

Suggesting {{ROOTPAGENAME}}.

Comment 2 Misza 2008-02-02 01:00:02 UTC

Implemented in r30413.

Comment 3 Danny B. 2008-02-04 20:43:03 UTC

Unfortunately reverted in r30547.

Comment 4 Misza 2008-02-04 20:56:02 UTC

A solution for wikis that have ParserFunctions extension installed is to use {{#titleparts:{{PAGENAME}}|1}}.

Comment 6 Peter van Londen 2008-05-07 20:47:59 UTC

Thanks for that solution with titleparts: that works. I have added this to http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Link/a/b

Comment 7 Lady Aleena 2008-08-04 00:01:04 UTC

{{ROOTPAGENAME}} would be great! Please?

Comment 8 Brion Vibber 2008-08-04 21:20:09 UTC

Is a {{ROOTPAGENAME}} still necessary if #titleparts does this?

Comment 9 Sam Reed (reedy) 2008-08-04 21:25:07 UTC

Would be easier to remember {{ROOTPAGENAME}}...

Comment 10 Brion Vibber 2008-08-04 21:34:35 UTC

Ok, how about we restore r30413 but without the extra PARENTPAGENAME alias?

Comment 11 Misza 2008-08-05 22:25:52 UTC

How about we add ParserFunctions to core? ;)

Comment 12 Sam Reed (reedy) 2009-01-01 22:41:17 UTC

Any chance of getting this one done? ;P

Seeing as its quite easy

Comment 13 Lady Aleena 2009-02-23 06:26:49 UTC

You mean that this still hasn't been added yet? :O

There is a template on Wikipedia that could use {{ROOTPAGENAME}}, so please do this.

Comment 14 Niklas Laxström 2009-02-23 09:50:47 UTC

Titleparts has been available for how long now, what is the problem?

Comment 15 Sam Reed (reedy) 2009-02-23 16:05:25 UTC

I suspect the bug being open/people not knowing about it...

For peoples info...

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions#.23titleparts:


So, its whether people accept that as a solution (fine if the wiki has parser functions), or if something should still go in core...
