mediawiki.vim

Installation

This plugin can be installed with the usual plugin managers.

vim-plug:

Plug 'riceissa/vim-mediawiki'

pathogen:

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone https://github.com/riceissa/vim-mediawiki.git

Omni-completion

If you want omni-completion, add the following autocommand:

autocmd FileType mediawiki setlocal omnifunc=mediawikicomplete#Complete

Currently omni-completion supports the following:

  • Ref name completion anywhere. Vim's default keyword completion with <C-N> and <C-P> don't work so well when ref names contain characters like -, ., and :. Setting 'iskeyword' is one way to get around this, but doing so changes a lot of other things. So ref name completion deals with all the crazy ref names while keeping everything else the same.
  • Template name completion if the character before the cursor is {.
  • Template field name completion if the character before the cursor is |. Note that currently the "field names" are for {{cite web}} only, but in the future I might add support for detecting what template one is in, and completing field names for that.

If you want automatic omni-completion after typing {{ (start of a template) or | (start of a template field), you can add the following:

autocmd FileType mediawiki inoremap <buffer><expr> <Char-123>
      \ getline(".")[col(".") - 2] == "{" ? "{\<C-X>\<C-O>\<C-P>" : "{"
" A bar at the start of a line is likely to be the start of a table separator,
" so only start the completion if it is not the first character on the line
autocmd FileType mediawiki inoremap <buffer><expr> <bar> col(".") == 1 ?
      \ "<bar>" : "<bar>\<C-X>\<C-O>\<C-P>"

Surround

If you do a lot of work on a self-hosted wiki, then you might want to install surround.vim and add the following custom surround:

autocmd FileType mediawiki let b:surround_{char2nr('w')} = "[[wikipedia:\r|]]"

This will allow you to wikilink to Wikipedia's pagename by typing <C-S>wpagename. And because of the pipe trick, you don't need to type pagename a second time following the pipe; [[wikipedia:pagename|]] will be transformed to [[wikipedia:pagename|pagename]] upon saving.

If you repeat ref names a lot, you might want to add the following custom surround:

autocmd FileType mediawiki let b:surround_{char2nr('r')} = "<ref name=\"\r\" />"

If you've enabled omni-completion, then combined with the ref name surround, you can type <C-S>r<C-X><C-O> to insert a ref, which of course you can map to some key with imap if you find yourself typing that sequence a lot.

Navigating between files

Vim has the ability to navigate between files in the file system. That means if you are working on a wiki and have a bunch of pages that link to each other using MediaWiki's [[wikilink]] syntax, you can travel between them using key combinations like gf and <C-W><C-F>. (See e.g. :help gf and :help CTRL-W_CTRL-F.) But for this to work, you need to set some options:

" See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Page_name#Technical_restrictions_and_limitations
" and
" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(technical_restrictions)
autocmd FileType mediawiki setlocal isfname=@,32,48-57,/,.,-,_,+,,,$,%,:,@-@,!,~,=

" Translate spaces to underscores and add a '.mediawiki' extension
autocmd FileType mediawiki setlocal includeexpr=substitute(substitute(v:fname,'\ ','_','g'),'$','.mediawiki','')
