Detailed Description

The Message class deals with fetching and processing of interface message 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.

The preferred way to create Message objects is via the msg() method of of an available RequestContext and ResourceLoader Context object; this will ensure that the message uses the correct language. When that is not possible, the wfMessage() global function can be used, which will cause Message to get the language from the global RequestContext object. In rare circumstances when sessions are not available or not initialized, that can lead to errors.

The most basic usage cases would be:

// Initialize a Message object using the 'some_key' message key
$message = $context->msg( 'some_key' );
// Using two parameters those values are strings 'value1' and 'value2':
$message = $context->msg( 'some_key',
'value1', 'value2'
);
string null false $message
Definition Message.php:216

Global function wrapper:

Since msg() 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 msg() usage.

Fetching a message text for interface message:

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

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

$context->msg( 'welcome-to' )
->params( $wgSitename )
->text();
$wgSitename
Config variable stub for the Sitename setting, for use by phpdoc and IDEs.

{{GRAMMAR}} and friends work correctly:

$context->msg( 'are-friends',
$user, $friend
);
$context->msg( '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:

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

wfMessage( 'file-log',
$user, $filename
)->inContentLanguage()->text();
wfMessage( $key,... $params)
This is the function for getting translated interface messages.

Checking whether a message exists:

$context->msg( '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

◆ newFromKey()

static Message::newFromKey ( $key,
$params )
static

Factory function that is just wrapper for the real constructor.

It is intended to be used instead of the real constructor, because it allows chaining method calls, while new objects don't.

Since
1.17
Parameters
string | string[] | MessageSpecifier$key
mixed...$params Parameters as strings.
Returns
Message

◆ newFromSpecifier()

static Message::newFromSpecifier ( $value)
static

Transform a MessageSpecifier or a primitive value used interchangeably with specifiers (a message key string, or a key + params array) into a proper Message.

Also accepts a MessageSpecifier inside an array: that's not considered a valid format but is an easy error to make due to how StatusValue stores messages internally. Further array elements are ignored in that case.

When the MessageSpecifier object is an instance of Message, a clone of the object is returned. This is unlike the new Message( … ) constructor, which returns a new object constructed from scratch with the same key. This difference is mostly relevant when the passed object is an instance of a subclass like RawMessage or ApiMessage.

Parameters
string | array | MessageSpecifier$value
-taint$valuetainted
Returns

◆ plaintextParams()

Message::plaintextParams ( $params)
