Highlighting disambiguations

 ·  ☕ 29 min read

Today on Leaguepedia, if you encounter a disambiguation link, it will be highlighted in bold orange, so you know something is wrong. Additionally, there is a button next to it that you can click to see a pop-up with all of the possible player disambiguation links, which you can choose to follow or copy. And hovering each one shows a further tooltip with some information about the player. (Disambiguations of other types aren’t yet supported, but that’s on my todo list. It’s a pretty nontrivial task for reasons I’ll explain later.)

A table showing a link that should have been disambiguated, but wasn’t:

And here is the pop-up displaying the options that the editor might want to use:

On player pages, a disambiguation link is printed deliberately when applicable; here, the link isn’t highlighted, but the button still exists:

Crucially, this entire setup requires no additional effort or special knowledge on the part of an editor. Everything is done using CSS and JavaScript that automatically loads whenever a disambiguation link is printed on the wiki, anywhere, even if it just uses the normal [[Link]] syntax.

Throughout this post I’ve included numerous code snippets; some of them are modified to omit details not yet relevant to the discussion, and some of them appear multiple times. Therefore I’ve included a full list of all code files at the end of this post, which you can read or copy or ignore. Click here to skip to the code (or to check the scroll bar to see how much of this you don’t have to read).

Highlighting disambigs

The first thing I did was simply to highlight links to disambiguations in a very noticeable style, so that there was a clear signal to the editor that something was wrong.

Initial method

There’s not really any nice way to put this, I brute-forced the entire thing:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
a[title="Kìrìt0"], a[title="2015 League Championship Series"], a[title="AK"], a[title="AKi"], a[title="Absolute"], a[title="Ace"], a[title="Aegis"], a[title="Aesthetic"], a[title="Aki"], a[title="Akira"], a[title="Aliez"], /* 

snip

*/ a[title="Von"], a[title="Vulcan"], a[title="WaY"], a[title="Ward"], a[title="Way"], a[title="Wei"], a[title="Willy"], a[title="Wind"], a[title="Winnie"], a[title="Wolf"], a[title="Wolves"], a[title="Woong"], a[title="World GameMaster Tournament"], a[title="XiaoHan"], a[title="Xiaohan"], a[title="Xuan"], a[title="Xx"], a[title="Yan"], a[title="Yang"], a[title="YoDa"], a[title="Yoshi"], a[title="Yuuki"], a[title="ZZZ"], a[title="Zen"], a[title="Zero"], a[title="Zest"], a[title="Ziv"], a[title="Zzz"] {
    color:orange!important;
    font-weight:bold;
}

…..yeah. At the time I replaced this method, there were 388 links included. It was not pleasant. That said, most of the code was generated, not manually curated:

css_style = " {\n    color:orange!important;\n    font-weight:bold;\n}"

def save_css_page():
    print('Starting css page...')
    csspage = site.pages["MediaWiki:Gadget-highlightDisambigs.css"]
    csstext = csspage.text()
    if '"' + original_name + '"' not in csstext:
        # use re in case a human edited the page and didn't use exactly the expected styling
        # remove the style from the string
        s = csstext.split('{')[0]
        # split string to capture the page titles
        tbl = re.split('a\\[title="\s*(.+?)\s*\"\\],?\s*', s)
        tbl.append(original_name)
        tblSorted = sorted(tbl)
        # re-add style
        tblSorted2 = ['a[title="{}"]'.format(s) for s in tblSorted if s.strip(", ") != ""]
        # concatenage back into a string
        csstext = ', '.join(tblSorted2) + css_style
        print("Saving css page...")
        csspage.save(csstext, summary=summary, tags="bot_disambig")

This code was part of a much larger script - in fact, the first Python script I ever wrote for the wiki - that scanned through all backlinks of a player page needing to be disambiguated and updated them to use the new name. Along the way it moved the page to its disambiguated location, did some blank edits, and updated this css file. It also alphabetized the list in the file, so if people ever added links by hand, out of order, they’d get alphabetized properly the next time I disambiguated a page using the script.

In mid 2019, I discovered the extension Highlight Links in Category. My immediate thought was, “I should replace my disambigs with this!” So I did.

Here’s my current value for $wgHighlightLinksInCategory:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
{
  "Disambiguations": "catlink-disambiguations",
  "Players": "catlink-players",
  "Teams": "catlink-teams",
  "Tournaments": "catlink-tournaments",
  "TeamsWithAutomatedNews": "tWAN"
}

There was some issue I encountered when categories here had spaces in their names, so for the last one, which is a temporary maintenance category, I just removed all spaces from the category name. It also has an abbreviated class name because it’s a temporary thing so I figured may as well make it short.

The relevant item here is the first one - all links to disambiguations will have the class catlink-disambiguations added to them.

My entire css snippet above can now be replaced with the following:

1
2
3
4
.catlink-disambiguations {
    color:orange!important;
    font-weight:bold;
}

Nice!

There’s actually one other rule here, which handles the case you saw in the introduction of a deliberate link to a disambig. So the full contents of my highlightDisambigs.css gadget is as follows:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
.catlink-disambiguations {
    color:orange!important;
    font-weight:bold;
}

.sbs-disambig .catlink-disambiguations {
 color:var(--link)!important; /* im so sorry */
 font-weight:normal;
}

Disambiguation tooltip buttons

So, highlighting disambiguations is great for discovery that there’s a problematic link. But the process for correcting this link still sucks - one must open the page to the disambiguation, copy the right name, close tab/navigate back to the original page, and paste it in. We’d like to get rid of the navigation step altogether.

The on-load JavaScript way

So the easy way to do this would be to add a node (probably a span) after each a.catlink-disambugations with JS, which, when clicked, would show a pop-up with all the disambiguations. But screw that, I want a CSS-on-load-only method that doesn’t involve any JS until the user actually clicks something (other than assigning an onclick function).

The CSS way

So…let’s make an ::after pseudo-element! Not that hard:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
.catlink-disambiguations {
    position:relative;
}

.catlink-disambiguations::after {
    font-family:"FontAwesome";
    content:"\f05a";
    cursor:pointer;
    color:var(--body-text-color);
}

The thing is, when you click this ::after, your click event is sent to the parent link, which just navigates you. Not what we want. We’re gonna have to figure out where exactly in this link the click happened and then apply an onclick event conditionally.

First let’s adjust the CSS so this is possible to do:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
.catlink-disambiguations {
    position:relative;
    margin-right:1em;
}

.catlink-disambiguations:not(.catlink-disambiguations-activated)::after {
    font-family:"FontAwesome";
    content:"\f05a";
    cursor:pointer;
    color:var(--body-text-color);
    position:absolute;
    right:-1em;
}

Our situation is now that the full width of our new element is exactly the same as it was before; however, instead of the space allotted to the ::after being part of the main element, it’s positioned “on top of” the element’s right margin. This lets us access the x-coordinate of the boundary of the ::after using the innerWidth() function, as follows:

1
2
3
    var el = this;
    if (e.pageX <= $(el).offset().left + $(el).innerWidth()) return;
    e.preventDefault();

Now that we have the “tech” to show the button on page load, without any visible-to-the-user JavaScript, let’s switch gears and talk about the actual content of this thing. Remember part of our premise was that the entire system must work without the use of any templates or special markup. So we need a method for the contents of the pop-up to be created based on no information other than the normal attributes of the link - i.e. the title/href.

Disambiguation tooltip contents

I’ll preface this with a note that I intend to revise this structure, and when I do, I’ll write a followup post explaining the limitations of this method and my solution. But this is the code I’m currently running as of writing this post, and it works sufficiently well that it’s already a great feature.

Storing data

If you’ve read any of my previous posts, it should be pretty obvious I’m going to do this with Cargo. Here’s the definition of my Disambiguations table (recall I wrap declarations in Lua):

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
return {
    { field = 'FinalLocation', type = 'String', desc = 'The page where the term is located' },
    { field = 'Term', type = 'String', desc = 'Will be _pageName unless the disambig is located at _(Disambiguation)' },
    { field = 'DisambigType', type = 'String', desc = 'Player, Team, Other' },
    { field = 'N_LineInPage', type = 'String', desc = '' },
    { field = 'DisambigID', type = 'String', desc = 'To join to type-specific tables' },
}

The Term field solves cases like Uzi (Jian Zi-Hao), where the disambiguation page is located at Uzi (Disambiguation), and Uzi redirects to Uzi (Jian Zi-Hao). In this case I want to query for the term being Uzi, but _pageName will be Uzi (Disambiguation). The field N_LineInPage lets me duplicate the order in which disambiguations are listed from the page itself to the tooltip or other display. In theory FinalLocation and DisambigID should be the same, but I do not like having page names double as joining keys.

The module that stores to this table is called DisambigPage, and it’s stored from the disambiguation pages themselves. I’ll provide a snippet of Lua code; note that I’m extremely lazy here and make one database call per item in the disambiguation list; however, this is not really a problem because there’s almost never more than 3 or 4 items on a single page, and the absolute maximum is about 10.

function h.getAndStorePlayerData(args)
    local tbl = util_args.numberedArgsToTable(args, 'player')
    if not tbl then return nil end
    util_map.arrayInPlaceWithIndex(tbl, h.getPlayerData, args)
    h.storeCargo(tbl, 'Player')
    return util_map.inPlace(tbl, h.makePlayerLine)
end

function h.getPlayerData(player, i, args)
    if mw.title.makeTitle('', player).exists then
        return h.getPlayerDataFromCargo(player)
    end
    return h.getPlayerDataFromArgs(args, i)
end

function h.getPlayerDataFromCargo(player)
    local row = util_cargo.getOneRow(h.makePlayerQuery(player))
    row.IsFormer = not row.Team
    row.Team = row.Team or row.TeamLast
    row.CurrentName = row._pageName ~= lang:ucfirst(player) and row._pageName
    row.Name = player
    return row
end

function h.makePlayerQuery(player)
    return {
        tables = 'Players, PlayerRedirects=PR',
        join = 'Players._pageName=PR._pageName',
        fields = h.fields,
        groupBy = 'Players._pageName',
        where = ('PR.AllName = "%s"'):format(player),
        types = {
            IsSubstitute = 'boolean',
            IsLowercase = 'boolean'
        }
    }
end

This snippet is missing some details, but they aren’t particularly important. Of course, there’s similar functions for storing teams. At the end of this post I’ve included the complete source of all mentioned modules and gadgets.

Limitations of this approach

Briefly, I dislike this entire approach because it requires a disambiguation to know too much:

  • What types of entities are there?
  • How do you construct a display sentence for each type of entity?
  • What fields are relevant to query for each entity?

Really, the disambiguations should be set on the target pages themselves and stored in a generic Entities table with a field called DisambigSentence that can be queried as needed. This new method would also allow for a single query to discover all disambiguations and display them without any knowledge of types of pages or secondary details. Then disambiguation pages only need to know:

  • What pages have this ID?
  • What do they want their sentences to be?

This is a much more reasonable list than that of the original approach.

I’ve glossed over one issue in the above (which is actually a big enough issue that it’s the reason I haven’t changed the setup over yet) - currently, we have freedom to do things like show a player nicknamed Claps on the disambiguation page Clap - and this is not so easily automated. So a method for manually adding players or pages with similar but not identical names to a disambiguation is needed, and this rather complicates the final product.

Also remember when I mentioned the order parameter in the Cargo query? Yeah, if I switch to storing everything on individual pages, and the disambiguation pages query to discover what to list, I’d have to do alphabetical order or something, instead of allowing editors to set their own ordering.

Querying data

So, anyway, even in the current setup we have an easy way to discover all disambiguations associated to a particular term - just query Disambiguations. By stripping all characters including and after the first ( in a title attribute, we can find the value of Disambiguations.Term and from there get a list of all entities with the same term.

        :tag('div')
            :addClass('copy-button')
            :wikitext('')
end

return p

This is pretty straightforward.

Constructing the pop-up

So far, I have the ability to add a clickable button and the ability to print a list of items associated to that button.

Styling the pop-up

Eventually I will probably move the .copy-button class to a more generic location, but for now it’s exclusively a part of disambiguations, so I left the CSS here, in MediaWiki:Gadget-popupDisambigs.css.

Making the copy buttons do something

Here is the JS that makes the copy buttons work. Again, for the most part this is pretty generic and could certainly be made even more so, but since I haven’t needed it for anything else yet, it’s still just written for disambiguations.

        }, 2000);
    });
});

Replacing the ::after pseudo-element

Now to the fun part!

Pre-existing popup button code

This part deserves its own post; I’ll do that eventually, but for now, here’s the code for reference. If you aren’t looking to implement this yourself, don’t worry about this; just assume that I already have the ability to insert parsed wikitext into a popup button given some HTML constraints and an attribute containing the wikitext to parse.

I’ve included the full code at the end of this article, but here’s an abridged version:

    var hiddenClass = $(this).attr('data-toggler-hiddenclass');
    hiddenClass = hiddenClass ? hiddenClass : 'popup-content-hidden';
    // if we're re-clicking the same one we just showed before then, just hide it
    // otherwise hide all the others and show this one
    var $shownContent = $(this).find('.popup-content-wrapper-action:not(.' + hiddenClass + ')');
    if ($shownContent.length) {
        $shownContent.addClass(hiddenClass);
        return;
    }
    // hide everything...
    $('.popup-content-wrapper-action').addClass(hiddenClass);
    var $wrapper = $(this).find('.popup-content-wrapper-action');
    // ...and then show only this one
    $wrapper.toggleClass(hiddenClass);

    // snip
    // a lot of logic for resizing and moving stuff goes here
    
    $(document).click(function(){
        $('.popup-content-wrapper-action').addClass(hiddenClass);
    });
}

Constructing the pop-up HTML

Typically, I construct the necessary HTML structure in Lua as part of page creation, but remember I can’t do that in this case, again because a user cannot be required to do anything special to show these pop-ups. So instead, I do this in JavaScript.

The strategy is as follows:

  1. Determine if the click was in fact on top of the ::after (we discussed this earlier).
  2. If not, then just do a normal click event (i.e. go to the link target).
  3. Determine the Term for this disambig.
  4. Call the Lua Module DisambigPopup through the api parse action.
  5. Insert the contents after the link. Note that this is actually changing the DOM in a relevant way, but we need to make it look to the user like nothing has happened. This is the fun part. Note that while we’re inserting a visible action button, the tooltip itself is still hidden by a display:none; at this point in time.
  6. Fire the hook needed to bind the click events for the copy buttons and for the pop-up itself.
  7. Click the pop-up button, showing the tooltip content that we had previously inserted.

        if (e.pageX <= $(el).offset().left + $(el).innerWidth()) return;
        e.preventDefault();
        var disambigTitle = $(this).attr('title').replace(' (Disambiguation)', '');
        console.log(disambigTitle);
        return new mw.Api().get({
            action: 'parse',
            prop: 'text',
            disablelimitreport: 1,
            disableeditsection: 1,
            text: '{{#invoke:DisambigPopup|main|' + disambigTitle + '}}'
        }).then(function(data) {
            var wikitext = data.parse.text['*'];
            $(el).addClass('catlink-disambiguations-activated');
            $(el).wrap('<span class="disambig-link-wrapper"></span>');
            var newEl = document.createElement('span');
            $(newEl).html($(wikitext).html());
            $(newEl).insertAfter(el);
            
            // snip
            
            mw.hook('wikipage.content').fire($('.popup-button-action, .copy-button'));
            popupButton.bind(newEl)(new MouseEvent('click'));
            // snip
        });
    });
});

The snipped bits are to do with the extension TippingOver, which I use to generate my tooltips. I’ll show that at the end.

To accomplish the user-can’t-see-anything part, we add the class catlink-disambiguations-activated in this function, and adjust our earlier CSS as follows. Credit to Ema for this part:

}

  width: 1em;
  display: inline-block;
  text-align: right;
}

.disambig-link-wrapper a + span .popup-button-pretty {
  text-align:left;
}

Note the additions of the :not(.catlink-disambiguations-activated) and the new styles at the end for the situation where we have the popup button separated from the link. Once we add the activated class, the ::after will disappear completely, and the new element will remain in its exact place. Yay!

Enabling tooltips in the pop-up

TippingOver doesn’t hook into the API parse method at all. So we have to do some of its work on our own. Here’s the snipped bits from the earlier JS:

            $(newEl).find('a').each(function() {
                var title = $(this).attr('title').replace(/ /g, '_');
                // we need to escape dashes that were previously in the title
                // but NOT escape dashes that we add
                // so instead of directly (\%\w\w) -> _$1- we'll use #_$1# as an intermediate step
                // then we do the -, (, ) replacements which aren't handled by encodeURIComponent
                // echoes encodeAllSpecial from https://github.com/oOeyes/TippingOver/blob/8f1dd018e57f284cc33db5cd1dbc967d24621fbf/includes/WikiTooltips.php

                $(this).removeAttr('title');
            });
            // end delete this eventually

            mw.hook('wikipage.content').fire($('.popup-button-action, .copy-button'));

Conclusion

Since I snipped a lot of code and edited a bunch of things and showed some things more than once, here’s a full list of files. The links on the wiki may change significantly in the future, so I’m pasting the relevant code here as well.

After this is just code, so I’ll conclude now - in the end this is probably about average for the amount of moving parts and effort that go into a “single” feature like this for me. As I mentioned before, I’m not totally happy with the current Cargo setup because of how restrictive it is in terms of having different types of disambiguations allowed, but in practice it’s really not a big problem (over 90% of our disambiguated pages are for players anyway), and I mostly want to fix it because I care about doing things the right way (hopefully that’s not too hard to believe after reading this post…).

While copying this entire setup might seem a bit daunting, the first part - just the highlighting of disambiguations, with no pop-ups - is already extremely valuable to have and requires only one extension - Highlight Links In Category. The one required CSS rule can be added to common.css (and also Mobile if you use Mobile Frontend), so not even Gadgets is required (though you should). And if you’re feeling slightly ambitious, you can build something very similar to this entire setup with the only needed variation being your own DisambigPage module!
