S1450

Frankfurt2026 May 28 (Thursday), 8:56AM· RedirectManager · MediaWiki · identifiers · I've been working on adding a system of redirect 'patterns' to RedirectManager. (I'm not quite sure 'pattern' is the right name, but they've got to be called something.) The main thing I want at the moment is a way to create a redirect to a page that I'm currently editing, with an incrementing ID value suffixed with a letter or three. So, this blog post for example is S1450 because that's the next available ID here, but actually it's not the next ID because that number just comes from counting all blog posts (and adding 1). It'd be neater to be able to just increment from the last S-prefixed title. The patch I've got also adds dates and times, and a random string generator. ← Previous My main RSS news feed: https://samwilson.id.au/news.rss(or Wikimedia.rss, Fremantle.rss, OpenStreetMap.rss, etc. for topic feeds).
