Hallo! <inputbox> is a great achivement. a) However it might be usefull to provide the ability to *insert predefined titles* (for the articles to be created. Each wiki could decide (on each occurence) if it would start with sandbox, a timestamp or what prefix / sufix would be best related to the location of <inputbox> on a particular page. Practice will show how usefull this would be. b) Another issue I am not aware is if there is an alternative to place the "header" *between* the input box and the button and c) to have *another button label* then the one specified in [[MediaWiki:Createarticle]]. Why to ask for this enhancement: Wiki software should be intuitive and flexible without many "you just have to know" - "you need to follow the procedure step by step". Do not believe that all visitors read every bit of a page. At the beginning I pressed the button myself *without* inserintg any title leading to edit (the protected) [[Main Page]]. I assume that these additions would help to avoid similar situations. Thanks in advance! Best regards [[user:gangleri]] P.S. I am not quite shure if <inputbox> is an extension of not. If so please change the Product: to MediaWiki extensions , if necessary create one. http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__all__&product=&content=inputbox shows also bug 2788 and bug 2286
* added main URL http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Inputbox (perhaps to be set into the URL field of this bugzilla ?) * changed Product code to "MediaWiki extensions"
Gangleri, please file separate bugs for separate enhancement requests, thanks. <inputbox> now supports a default= parameter to set the preferred default title.
splited bug: - bug 2847: "<inoutbox> usage of template constructs to generate the "default" option" - bug 2842: "<inputbox> should allow alternatively to place the header *between* the inputbox and the button not only above the inputbox" - bug 2844: "<inputbox> should allow allow to label a button differently then [[MediaWiki:Createarticle]]" changed title: <inputbox> should allow to set predefined titles changed url to: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Inputbox <s>note: this bug could be used as <inputbox> tracking bug;</s> marked as FIXED
