Detailed Description

The Message class provides methods which fulfil two basic services:

fetching interface messages
processing messages into a variety of formats

First implemented with MediaWiki 1.17, the Message class is intended to replace the old wfMsg* functions that over time grew unusable.

See also: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Messages_API for equivalences between old and new functions.

You should use the wfMessage() global function which acts as a wrapper for the Message class. The wrapper let you pass parameters as arguments.

The most basic usage cases would be:

// Initialize a Message object using the 'some_key' message key
$message = wfMessage( 'some_key' );
 
// Using two parameters those values are strings 'value1' and 'value2':
$message = wfMessage( 'some_key',
     'value1', 'value2'
);

Global function wrapper:

Since wfMessage() returns a Message instance, you can chain its call with a method. Some of them return a Message instance too so you can chain them. You will find below several examples of wfMessage() usage.

Fetching a message text for interface message:

$button = Xml::button(
     wfMessage( 'submit' )->text()
);

A Message instance can be passed parameters after it has been constructed, use the params() method to do so:

wfMessage( 'welcome-to' )
    ->params( $wgSitename )
    ->text();

{{GRAMMAR}} and friends work correctly:

wfMessage( 'are-friends',
    $user, $friend
);
wfMessage( 'bad-message' )
     ->rawParams( '<script>...</script>' )
     ->escaped();

Changing language:

Messages can be requested in a different language or in whatever current content language is being used. The methods are:

Message->inContentLanguage()
Message->inLanguage()

Sometimes the message text ends up in the database, so content language is needed:

wfMessage( 'file-log',
    $user, $filename
)->inContentLanguage()->text();

Checking whether a message exists:

wfMessage( 'mysterious-message' )->exists()

// returns a boolean whether the 'mysterious-message' key exist.

If you want to use a different language:

$userLanguage = $user->getOption( 'language' );
wfMessage( 'email-header' )
     ->inLanguage( $userLanguage )
     ->plain();

Note: You can parse the text only in the content or interface languages

Comparison with old wfMsg* functions:

Use full parsing:

// old style:
wfMsgExt( 'key', [ 'parseinline' ], 'apple' );
// new style:
wfMessage( 'key', 'apple' )->parse();

Parseinline is used because it is more useful when pre-building HTML. In normal use it is better to use OutputPage::(add|wrap)WikiMsg.

Places where HTML cannot be used. {{-transformation is done.

// old style:
wfMsgExt( 'key', [ 'parsemag' ], 'apple', 'pear' );
// new style:
wfMessage( 'key', 'apple', 'pear' )->text();

Shortcut for escaping the message too, similar to wfMsgHTML(), but parameters are not replaced after escaping by default.

$escaped = wfMessage( 'key' )
     ->rawParams( 'apple' )
     ->escaped();
