I added a line to autosubmit forms on the editpage (part of my hack for automated page creation). I called it 'EndOfEditForm' and put it 'around' line 1200 of EditPage.php between the closing brace and $wgOut->addHTML( "</form>\n" ); to end up like this: } wfRunHooks('EndOfEditForm'); $wgOut->addHTML( "</form>\n" ); This is my first bug report, and first big coding project, so if there is any more standard format I should follow (The essay was more about higher level concerns, like not being dumb) don't hesitate to let me know.
I read "hack for automated page creation", and I'm wondering whether or not the right approach was used in the first place. Nevertheless, 1. Please submit patches as unified diffs against the latest code in Subversion, attached to the relevant bug report 2. There are some notes on coding conventions in docs/design.txt 3. The hook would be more useful to other developers if it passed the edit form object, or at least some extra information, to hook functions
*** Bug 8180 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Point 3 was not addressed, so I'm closing this one for later - without extra information, most hooks aren't useful.
Implemented with EditFormInitialText and friends now. If something else is needed, please open another feature request.
