Description FT2 2009-01-12 22:06:01 UTC 
At present the instructions and default text for Inputbox must be wiki pages.

It would allow exceptional flexibility if these could also be templates:


<inputbox>
type=comment
buttonlabel=Click me to create this page about a star
editintro={{My instructions|STAR}}
preload={{My template|STAR}}
default=User:Foo/Default page
</inputbox>

<inputbox>
type=comment
buttonlabel=Click me to create this page about a planet
editintro={{My instructions|PLANET}}
preload={{My template|PLANET}}
default=User:Foo/Default page
</inputbox>

[[Template:My instructions]]
This template is for an article about {{#ifeq:{{{1}}}|STAR|a star|a planet}}. If this is wrong please click BACK on your browser.}}

[[Template:My template]]
Name of {{#ifeq:{{{1}}}|STAR|star|planet}}:
Mass of {{#ifeq:{{{1}}}|STAR|star|planet}}:
{{#ifeq:{{{1}}}|PLANET|Star the planet orbits: | }}

For a current example, see the [[w:WP:SPI]] page, where the input instructions and preload would vary slightly depending whether Checkuser will be requested or not, to reference CU and allow a space for it, or not.
Comment 1 FT2 2009-01-12 22:07:48 UTC 
(The point being that if slight variations on the inputbox instructions or template might exist, then it would be very efficient to be able to have one template with a parameter (easy to maintain) rather than separate pages (which could go out of sync).

I'm working on this, along with bug 17002.
