The Newest Pages extension provides a flexible dual-use special page which lists the most recently created pages on the wiki. This code doesn't use the recentchanges table, and so items do not expire, as with Special:Newpages.
Installation
- Download and move the extracted
NewestPagesfolder to yourextensions/directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/NewestPages - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'NewestPages' );
- Configure as required.
Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Configuration
- $wgNewestPagesLimit
- The maximum number of pages that can be listed with this extension. In any case, the number of pages listed will be limited to 5000, but this variable can set a lower limit.
Usage
The list can be accessed as a conventional special page, or through inclusion into another page.
Special page
The special page is located at Special:Newestpages and provides a full interface to filter according to namespace, limit the number of results, and toggle the inclusion of redirect pages.
Inclusion
You can include a list of pages into another page using named parameters, e.g.
{{Special:Newestpages|namespace=User}}
will produce a list of the newest pages in the User namespace.
Available parameters:
- namespace - Specify which namespace to show pages from (default: -1)
- Use 0 or - for main namespace
- Use -1 or all for all namespaces (except MediaWiki namespace)
- Use namespace name (e.g. User, Talk, etc.) for specific namespaces
- limit - Number of results to show
- Default: 50 (can be changed with $wgNewestPagesLimit)
- Maximum: 5000
- redirects - Include redirect pages (1) or exclude them (0) (default: 1)
Examples:
Show 5 newest pages from main namespace:
{{Special:Newestpages|namespace=0|limit=5}}
Show 10 newest pages from all namespaces, excluding redirects:
{{Special:Newestpages|namespace=all|limit=10|redirects=0}}
Show 20 newest pages from User namespace, including redirects:
{{Special:Newestpages|namespace=User|limit=20|redirects=1}}
