VoWi extension

This extension is specially tailored for https://vowi.fsinf.at/, depends on Attachments and FlexiblePrefix and does the following:

• hooks into FlexiblePrefix to display attachment counts and if an LVA is outdated
• prepends FlexiblePrefix to every LVA page (the prefix is everything up to the LVA type)
• provides Special:AddLVA to create LVA pages
• provides Special:Resources (like Special:FlexiblePrefix but shows attachments)
• customizes attachments sorting, so that correctly formatted dates (2020, 2020W, 2020S, 2020-01-28) are sorted newest to oldest
• hooks into the edit form to preload configurable text when creating LVAs (MediaWiki:editformpreload-lva) and Beispiel pages (MediaWiki:editformpreload-beispiel)
• provides Special:CourseById which redirects you to a LVA page given its course id and namespace (requires Semantic MediaWiki).
• provides vastly improved search autocompletion ($wgSearchType = 'VoWiSearch';), requires Extension:TitleKey
  • subpages are excluded (except if the search query includes a slash)
  • case-insensitive due to Extension:TitleKey
  • pages in $wgOutdatedLVACategory are demoted
  • pages in $wgUniNamespaces are preferred over files
  • supports matches in the middle of titles (except for files)
  • indexes abbreviations set with {{ABBREVIATION:<text>}}
• provides a <searchinput> tag to put a search input with autocompletion on a page
• provides a #toss parser function
• provides a #navdisplaytitle parser function, that only works on _Nav namespaces
