如何从其他专题页面调用功能

Question

I have 2 Special Pages on my wiki:

SpecialOne.php
SpecialTwo.php

In the main function of my first page (wfSpecialOne()) i want to use functions from my 2nd Specialpage (X(), Y()). But debugger says the method is unknown.

The same issue when the (now) static function X() calls function A() which is part of SpecialTwo.php

What i did so far:

include_once("SpecialTwo.php");

class SpecialOne extends SpecialPage {
  public function __construct() {
      parent::__construct( 'One' );
  }
  public function execute( $sub ) {
      $out = $this->getOutput();
      $this->wfSpecialOne();
  }

  function wfSpeicalOne(){
    $var1 = X();
    $var2 = Y();
  }
}

My first thought was to make all the functions static. But if so I'd have to refactor the function calls in each class to:

SpecialTwo::X();
SpecialTwo::Y():

Isn't there a better way? or did i miss something?

Answer 1

You should refactor your code in such a way that anything that's needed by multiple special pages is in some sort of utility class. Special pages should not reference each other (I won't say it never happens but it's an antipattern).

Unrelatedly, you should never need include and similar commands. If you do, you probably did not run maintenance/generateLocalAutoload.php.
