In Mediawiki 1.7.1 when editing a new page an existing text can be preloaded by using the GET parameter preload Example: http://www.wikia.com/index.php?title=Forum:Just_A_Test&action=edit§ion=&preload=Template:Forumheader/Help%20desk&editintro= The GET parameter preload is not respected in mediawiki 1.5.8. The following patch solves the problem.
1.5 is an old and unmaintained version, and thus does not contain newer features.
Created attachment 2256 [details] Add GET parameter prelad for EditPage With the patch when opening a page for editing the GET parameter preload specifies with which page text to preload the edit box. Applicable only to Mediawiki 1.5
