BUG MIGRATED FROM SOURCEFORGE
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=863114&group_id=34373&atid=411192
Originally submitted by E. L. (elwp)  2003-12-19 20:34


In OutputPage::replaceVariables the MSG(NW) variables
are replaced only after the other variables. But it
would be useful to allow user defined messages that
refer to these other variables. 

This is not a theoretical problem. On the German Main
Page we'd like to let the &quot;selected articles&quot; block be
editable by all users, and thus we moved it to the
MediaWiki namespace, but it contains {{CURRENTDAY}} and
{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}.

I don't think that the required rearrangement in
&quot;replaceVariables&quot; would have any undesired side effects.

I'm not sure I understand this bug.

* What exactly is the problem?
* What are you expecting this modification to accomplish?
* What are the "other variables" you are referring to?

Comment 2 Wil Mahan 2004-09-30 20:44:47 UTC

At the time this bug was filed, it seems it was not possible to include a magic
variable like {{CURRENTDAY}} inside a template. MediaWiki has long sine been
changed to recursively expand variables and other templates inside templates
(which no longer require a msg: prefix or reside in the MediaWiki namespace). So
I'm marking this as fixed.
