--- Comment #3 from Brad Jorsch <bjor...@wikimedia.org> ---
If someone wants to do this, it should be easy enough.

The Title object already has a "getRootText()" method that does exactly what
you want, so you can just copy the code for {{BASEPAGENAME}} and change the
call to "getBaseText()" to "getRootText()".

Look for "basepagename" in includes/parser/CoreParserFunctions.php,
includes/parser/Parser.php, includes/MagicWord.php, and
languages/messages/MessagesEn.php.

Then look for "BASEPAGENAME" in tests/parser/parserTests.txt and
maintenance/fuzz-tester.php.

Then add mention in RELEASE-NOTES-1.21 (or whatever version we're up to once
someone gets around to this), stick it in Gerrit, and add me as a reviewer.

> BASEPAGENAME is a misnomer

Why shouldn't "Foo/Bar/Baz" be considered the base of "Foo/Bar/Baz/Quux"?

So do it then.
