1. Edit [[mw:API:Meta]] in VisualEditor 2. Select the "MediaWiki version 1.8" template A popup appears showing the template's correct name ("MW 1.8"). 3. Open the transclusion editor for the template VE thinks it is editing a template called "MW 1". Also note that when you try to insert a template with a period in its name, like "MW 1.8", you get a whole lot of suggestions for "MW 1".
I blame mwTitle. Because it's always at fault.
Yep. mw.Title.newFromText( 'Template:Asd.com' ).getNameText() "Asd"
getNameText() explicitly leaves out any faux extension. That's by design. To get the page title, use getMainText. https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/master/js/#!/api/mw.Title-method-getNameText
btw, This is a compatibility/legacy left-over from when mw.Title was part of UploadWizard and they got dibs on the more intuitive name "getNameText". Unfortunately this mistake was not uncovered until after it was merged in mediawiki-core and released in an LTS.
Yeah, I worked that out soon after moving the bug. Still, I wonder if the documentation should be improved for those methods.
