Get namespace of current page MediaWiki userscript

So, I'm creating a Wikipedia user script, and for it, I need to get the current namespace and get a true or false value. I tried using wgCanonicalNamespace , but this did not work. Here is another script I tried but did not work.

NoRedLinksNamespaces = {
    //settings (changed by user on common.js)
};


if(NoRedLinksNamespaces[document.URL.slice("title=", ":")]) {
    //code here
}

I want the script to only redirect certain namespaces, (definition I'm going by: "file:" is file, and "talk:" is talk) out of the editor. here is my code.

Solution

  • You get the current namespace number in JavaScript like this:

    ns = mw.config.get ('wgNamespaceNumber');
