Yes, this would be a pretty straightforward addition to the mw.Title object or something that accepts one as a filename similarly.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#Title_objects Like the 'fileExists' this might be marked as an 'expensive' operation since doing a lot of them might require a lot of DB lookups. Note that I've got an old 'fileinfo' extension which used a parser function to fetch some file information which could be updated to provide a Lua interface, but it seems to have gone missing from gerrit (may never have made it over). So.... exercise left for the reader. -- brion On Fri, Jan 3, 2014 at 10:11 AM, Brian Wolff <bawo...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Jan 3, 2014 11:02 AM, "Raimond Spekking" <raimond.spekk...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > > Am 03.01.2014 18:37, schrieb Brian Wolff: > > > On Jan 3, 2014 7:04 AM, "Tuszynski, Jaroslaw W." < > > > jaroslaw.w.tuszyn...@leidos.com> wrote: > > >> > > >> I was working lately on a template on commons related to automatic > > >> overlay KML creation (see [1] for KML use on Commons).
