Description Charles Basenga Kiyanda 2007-07-25 03:15:11 UTC
I'd like to suggest an extension to MW whereby an inputbox could be placed on a page where the user can enter a page title and click a button to create a page.

Once the title is entered, a "forms" page opens, with drop boxes/input boxes/etc., that direct the user to enter specific information to create the new page. In the case of our wiki (wikiscuba), that could be information like

type of dive site: 
gps coordinates:
depth:

etc.

On confirming the information entered, the extension incorporates the information given and a template to create the new page.

I'm pretty sure several such extensions exist.

Could you point to such extensions? I spent several hours looking and couldn't find one. The only extensions I found were the ones where a new page would be created with a specified name, but none that would take in more info and create a new page containing that info.
