Bug #: 28577
Summary: Allow API to test for page title validity
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Low
Component: API
AssignedTo: roan.katt...@gmail.com
ReportedBy: b...@mzmcbride.com
CC: bryan.tongm...@gmail.com, s...@reedyboy.net,

Classification: Unclassified
The MediaWiki API should be able to be given a sample input string and return
whether the string would be a valid title. For example, the string "abc" would
return True while the string "aB{" would return False (as "{" isn't allowed in
page titles).
This would essentially be a dry-run mode of action=edit, but would allow for
some sanity checks when, for example, testing whether strings are valid
template parameter names.
Optionally, this test could check against other restrictions such as the local
title and global blacklists or the AbuseFilter to see if a specific string
matches (though this possibly opens up an attack vector).
