These are formats for dates generated by MediaWiki (as opposed to the wikitext DateFormatter).

Documentation for the format string can be found in Language.php, search for sprintfDate.

This array is automatically inherited by all subclasses. Individual keys can be overridden.

◆ $datePreferenceMigrationMap

$datePreferenceMigrationMap

Initial value:

= [
    'default',
    'mdy',
    'dmy',
    'ymd'

Associative array mapping old numeric date formats, which may still be stored in user preferences, to the new string formats.

Definition at line 147 of file MessagesEn.php.

◆ $datePreferences

    'ISO 8601',
]

A list of date format preference keys, which can be selected in user preferences.

New preference keys can be added, provided they are supported by the language class's timeanddate(). Only the 5 keys listed below are supported by the wikitext converter (parser/DateFormatter.php).

The special key "default" is an alias for either dmy or mdy depending on $wgAmericanDates

Definition at line 127 of file MessagesEn.php.

◆ $defaultDateFormat

$defaultDateFormat = 'dmy or mdy'

The date format to use for generated dates in the user interface.

This may be one of the above date preferences, or the special value "dmy or mdy", which uses mdy if $wgAmericanDates is true, and dmy if $wgAmericanDates is false.

Definition at line 141 of file MessagesEn.php.

◆ $digitTransformTable

$digitTransformTable = null

Optional array mapping ASCII digits 0-9 to local digits.

Definition at line 33 of file MessagesEn.php.

◆ $fallback

$fallback = false

This is the default English localisation file containing language specific information excluding interface strings, which are stored in JSON files.

Please see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Localisation for more information. To improve a translation please visit https://translatewiki.net Fallback language, used for all unspecified messages and behavior. This is English by default, for all files other than this one.

Do NOT set this to false in any other message file! Leave the line out to accept the default fallback to "en".

Definition at line 17 of file MessagesEn.php.

◆ $fallback8bitEncoding

$fallback8bitEncoding = 'windows-1252'

URLs do not specify their encoding.

UTF-8 is used by default, but if the URL is not a valid UTF-8 sequence, we have to try to guess what the real encoding is. The encoding used in this case is defined below, and must be supported by iconv().

Definition at line 46 of file MessagesEn.php.

◆ $linkPrefixCharset

$linkPrefixCharset = 'a-zA-Z\\x{80}-\\x{10ffff}'

Regular expression charset matching the "link prefix", e.g.

"foo" in foo[[bar]]. UTF-8 characters may be used.

Definition at line 538 of file MessagesEn.php.

◆ $linkPrefixExtension

$linkPrefixExtension = false

To allow "foo[[bar]]" to extend the link over the whole word "foobar".

Definition at line 51 of file MessagesEn.php.

◆ $linkTrail

$linkTrail = '/^([a-z]+)(.*)$/sD'

Regular expression matching the "link trail", e.g.

"ed" in [[Toast]]ed, as the first group, and the remainder of the string as the second group.

Definition at line 532 of file MessagesEn.php.

◆ $magicWords

$magicWords

Magic words Customizable syntax for wikitext and elsewhere.

IDs must be valid identifiers, they cannot contain hyphens. CASE is 0 to match all case variants, 1 for case-sensitive

Note to localisers:

Include the English magic words as synonyms. This allows people from other wikis that do not speak the language to contribute more easily.
The first alias listed MUST be the preferred alias in that language. Tools (like Visual Editor) are expected to use the first listed alias when editing or creating new content.
Order the other aliases so that common aliases occur before more rarely used aliases. The aliases SHOULD be sorted by the following convention:
1. Local first, English last, then
2. Most common first, least common last.

Definition at line 215 of file MessagesEn.php.

◆ $namespaceAliases

$namespaceAliases

Initial value:

= [
    
    'Image' => NS_FILE,
    'Image_talk' => NS_FILE_TALK,
]

Array of namespace aliases, mapping from name to NS_xxx index.

Note that 'namespaceAliases' is a mergable language attribute, which means it is combined with other languages in the fallback chain.

Definition at line 96 of file MessagesEn.php.

◆ $namespaceGenderAliases

$namespaceGenderAliases = []

Array of gender specific.

namespace aliases. Mapping NS_xxx to array of GENDERKEY to alias. Example:

$namespaceGenderAliases = [
  NS_USER => [ 'male' => 'Male_user', 'female' => 'Female_user' ],
];

Definition at line 116 of file MessagesEn.php.

◆ $namespaceNames

$namespaceNames

Initial value:

= [
    NS_MEDIA            => 'Media',
    NS_SPECIAL          => 'Special',
    NS_MAIN             => '',
    NS_TALK             => 'Talk',
    NS_USER             => 'User',
    NS_USER_TALK        => 'User_talk',
    # NS_PROJECT set by $wgMetaNamespace
    NS_PROJECT_TALK     => '$1_talk',
    NS_FILE             => 'File',
    NS_FILE_TALK        => 'File_talk',
    NS_MEDIAWIKI        => 'MediaWiki',
    NS_MEDIAWIKI_TALK   => 'MediaWiki_talk',
    NS_TEMPLATE         => 'Template',
    NS_TEMPLATE_TALK    => 'Template_talk',
    NS_HELP             => 'Help',
    NS_HELP_TALK        => 'Help_talk',
    NS_CATEGORY         => 'Category',
    NS_CATEGORY_TALK    => 'Category_talk',
]

Namespace names.

NS_PROJECT is always set to $wgMetaNamespace after the settings are loaded, it will be ignored even if you specify it here.

NS_PROJECT_TALK will be set to $wgMetaNamespaceTalk if that variable is set, otherwise the string specified here will be used. The string may contain "$1", which will be replaced by the name of NS_PROJECT. It may also contain a grammatical transformation, e.g.

NS_PROJECT_TALK => 'Keskustelu_{{grammar:elative|$1}}'

Only one grammatical transform may be specified in the string. For performance reasons, this transformation is done locally by the language module rather than by the full wikitext parser. As a result, no other parser features are available.

Definition at line 69 of file MessagesEn.php.

◆ $preloadedMessages

$preloadedMessages

A list of messages to preload for each request.

Here we add messages that are needed for a typical anonymous parser cache hit.

Definition at line 544 of file MessagesEn.php.

◆ $rtl

$rtl = false

Is the language written right-to-left?

Definition at line 22 of file MessagesEn.php.

◆ $separatorTransformTable

$separatorTransformTable = null

Transform table for decimal point '.

' and thousands separator ','

Definition at line 38 of file MessagesEn.php.

◆ $specialPageAliases

$specialPageAliases

Alternate names of special pages.

All names are case-insensitive. The first listed alias will be used as the default. Aliases from the fallback localisation (usually English) will be included by default.

Definition at line 395 of file MessagesEn.php.
