The FlexiblePrefix extension provides 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.

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called FlexiblePrefix in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'FlexiblePrefix' );
  

•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration parameters

$wgFlexiblePrefixNamespaces

Array of ids of the enabled namespaces.

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).
