Hi all, Page titles within the main namespace of my wiki are generally filled with literature titles, and thus tend to be unfortunately long. As a means of avoiding this (as well as page collision issues), I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to make the page URI be a random value (such as a string of 8 random numbers)? I admit this is somewhat a general mediawiki question, but I felt SMW would be its best bet of resolution, as I could forsee some potential workarounds by storing the page title itself in a property. Thanks, Josh |

I've got a semantic wiki that has a random-string generator for page titles in a particular namespace. I wound up doing the whole thing in javascript to pre-fill the "name" field for the form that creates pages in that namespace.

You should have look at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Forms/Linking_to_forms#The_one-step_process. That shows how to do that with SemanticForms. Also you might be interested in the Semantic Title extension https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Title that lets you have nice page title in combination with the numbered page name.

We are working on this [1]. Use the IDProvider parser functions in combination with Semantic Forms to create random/UUID page names. Recommended to use together with Semantic Title Extension [2].

Hi Josh, we've just released the IDProvider extension as version 1.0. The documentation is now available, too: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:IDProvider It includes an example how to use it with Semantic Forms info tag, which is most likely what you needed. If you don't want to add an additional extension, you can also make use of the <unique number> feature as Ad Strack van Schijndel already pointed out.

Thank you all, and I apologize for the belated reply! I believe Ad's suggestion of using the "one step" process of SF works well enough for me as it allows me to pad the title with a unique number automatically, and through the Semantic Title extension I can change the display title throughout the wiki. However, now I feel like I'm running into a problem. When attempting to link to the form via the onestep process: {{#formlink:form=FormName|link text=Create Summary|link type=button}} for the form page "Form:FormName", the button created by the #formlink parser just redirects me to my wiki's homepage. Meanwhile, #forminput works fine. I must be missing something silly here, and forgive me if so, but any ideas on the issue? Thanks for all the *amazing* support! -Josh On Mon, Nov 9, 2015 at 3:22 AM, Simon Heimler <hei...@gm...> wrote: > Hi Josh, > > we've just released the IDProvider extension as version 1.0.

....aaaaand nevermind! Apparently changing the link type from "button" to "post button" resolved the issue. Not sure why though.

Hi Josh, I'm guessing you ran into this issue: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Forms/Known_bugs_and_planned_features It's unfortunate, but changing to the "short URL" style will make it go away - and you'll have nicer-looking URLs. -Yaron On Fri, Nov 13, 2015 at 8:40 PM, Josh King <jos...@gm...> wrote: > ....aaaaand nevermind!
