30 * Base interface for content objects.
39 * @return string A string representing the content in a way useful for
40 * building a full text search index. If no useful representation exists,
41 * this method returns an empty string.
43 * @todo Test that this actually works
44 * @todo Make sure this also works with LuceneSearch / WikiSearch
46 public function getTextForSearchIndex();
51 * @return string|bool The wikitext to include when another page includes this
52 * content, or false if the content is not includable in a wikitext page.
54 * @todo Allow native handling, bypassing wikitext representation, like
55 * for includable special pages.
56 * @todo Allow transclusion into other content models than Wikitext!
57 * @todo Used in WikiPage and MessageCache to get message text. Not so
58 * nice. What should we use instead?!
60 public function getWikitextForTransclusion();
63 * Returns a textual representation of the content suitable for use in edit
64 * summaries and log messages.
68 * @param int $maxLength Maximum length of the summary text.
70 * @return string The summary text.
72 public function getTextForSummary( $maxLength = 250 );
75 * Returns native representation of the data. Interpretation depends on
76 * the data model used, as given by getDataModel().
80 * @deprecated since 1.33 use getText() for TextContent instances.
81 * For other content models, use specialized getters.
83 * @return mixed The native representation of the content. Could be a
84 * string, a nested array structure, an object, a binary blob...
87 * @note Caller must be aware of content model!
89 public function getNativeData();
92 * Returns the content's nominal size in "bogo-bytes".
96 public function getSize();
99 * Returns the ID of the content model used by this Content object.
100 * Corresponds to the CONTENT_MODEL_XXX constants.
104 * @return string The model id
106 public function getModel();
109 * Convenience method that returns the ContentHandler singleton for handling
110 * the content model that this Content object uses.
112 * Shorthand for ContentHandler::getForContent( $this )
116 * @return ContentHandler
118 public function getContentHandler();
121 * Convenience method that returns the default serialization format for the
122 * content model that this Content object uses.
124 * Shorthand for $this->getContentHandler()->getDefaultFormat()
130 public function getDefaultFormat();
133 * Convenience method that returns the list of serialization formats
134 * supported for the content model that this Content object uses.
136 * Shorthand for $this->getContentHandler()->getSupportedFormats()
140 * @return string[] List of supported serialization formats
142 public function getSupportedFormats();
145 * Returns true if $format is a supported serialization format for this
146 * Content object, false if it isn't.
148 * Note that this should always return true if $format is null, because null
149 * stands for the default serialization.
151 * Shorthand for $this->getContentHandler()->isSupportedFormat( $format )
155 * @param string $format The serialization format to check.
157 * @return bool Whether the format is supported
159 public function isSupportedFormat( $format );
162 * Convenience method for serializing this Content object.
164 * Shorthand for $this->getContentHandler()->serializeContent( $this, $format )
168 * @param string|null $format The desired serialization format, or null for the default format.
170 * @return string Serialized form of this Content object.
172 public function serialize( $format = null );
175 * Returns true if this Content object represents empty content.
179 * @return bool Whether this Content object is empty
181 public function isEmpty();
184 * Returns whether the content is valid. This is intended for local validity
185 * checks, not considering global consistency.
187 * Content needs to be valid before it can be saved.
189 * This default implementation always returns true.
195 public function isValid();
198 * Returns true if this Content objects is conceptually equivalent to the
199 * given Content object.
203 * - Will return false if $that is null.
204 * - Will return true if $that === $this.
205 * - Will return false if $that->getModel() !== $this->getModel().
206 * - Will return false if get_class( $that ) !== get_class( $this )
207 * - Should return false if $that->getModel() == $this->getModel() and
208 * $that is not semantically equivalent to $this, according to
209 * the data model defined by $this->getModel().
211 * Implementations should be careful to make equals() transitive and reflexive:
213 * - $a->equals( $b ) <=> $b->equals( $a )
214 * - $a->equals( $b ) && $b->equals( $c ) ==> $a->equals( $c )
218 * @param Content|null $that The Content object to compare to.
220 * @return bool True if this Content object is equal to $that, false otherwise.
222 public function equals( Content
$that = null );
225 * Return a copy of this Content object. The following must be true for the
228 * if $copy = $original->copy()
230 * - get_class($original) === get_class($copy)
231 * - $original->getModel() === $copy->getModel()
232 * - $original->equals( $copy )
234 * If and only if the Content object is immutable, the copy() method can and
235 * should return $this. That is, $copy === $original may be true, but only
236 * for immutable content objects.
240 * @return Content A copy of this object
242 public function copy();
245 * Returns true if this content is countable as a "real" wiki page, provided
246 * that it's also in a countable location (e.g. a current revision in the
249 * @see SlotRoleHandler::supportsArticleCount
253 * @param bool|null $hasLinks If it is known whether this content contains
254 * links, provide this information here, to avoid redundant parsing to
259 public function isCountable( $hasLinks = null );
262 * Parse the Content object and generate a ParserOutput from the result.
263 * $result->getText() can be used to obtain the generated HTML. If no HTML
264 * is needed, $generateHtml can be set to false; in that case,
265 * $result->getText() may return null.
267 * @note To control which options are used in the cache key for the
268 * generated parser output, implementations of this method
269 * may call ParserOutput::recordOption() on the output object.
271 * @param Title $title The page title to use as a context for rendering.
272 * @param int|null $revId Optional revision ID being rendered.
273 * @param ParserOptions|null $options Any parser options.
274 * @param bool $generateHtml Whether to generate HTML (default: true). If false,
275 * the result of calling getText() on the ParserOutput object returned by
276 * this method is undefined.

288 * Returns a list of DataUpdate objects for recording information about this
289 * Content in some secondary data store. If the optional second argument,
290 * $old, is given, the updates may model only the changes that need to be
291 * made to replace information about the old content with information about

298 * AbstractContent does.
300 * @param Title $title The context for determining the necessary updates
301 * @param Content|null $old An optional Content object representing the
302 * previous content, i.e. the content being replaced by this Content
304 * @param bool $recursive Whether to include recursive updates (default:

321 * have been resolved (up to $wgMaxRedirects times).
325 * @return Title[]|null List of Titles, with the destination last.
327 public function getRedirectChain();
330 * Construct the redirect destination from this content and return a Title,
331 * or null if this content doesn't represent a redirect.
332 * This will only return the immediate redirect target, useful for
333 * the redirect table and other checks that don't need full recursion.

339 public function getRedirectTarget();
342 * Construct the redirect destination from this content and return the
343 * Title, or null if this content doesn't represent a redirect.
345 * This will recurse down $wgMaxRedirects times or until a non-redirect
346 * target is hit in order to provide (hopefully) the Title of the final
347 * destination instead of another redirect.
349 * There is usually no need to override the default behavior, subclasses that
350 * want to implement redirects should override getRedirectTarget().
356 public function getUltimateRedirectTarget();
359 * Returns whether this Content represents a redirect.

389 * (e.g. 0, 1 or 'T-1'). The ID "0" retrieves the section before the first heading, "1" the

462 * bracket that will be used to save the new revision.

465 * performed. This means that $page may not yet know a page ID.
