Description lɛʁi לערי ריינהארט 2005-07-13 18:14:03 UTC

splitted requests from bug 2805 "<inputbox> should allow to set predefined titles"
bug 2805 comment 0
> 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)
where no requirement about *flexible predefined titles* (trough templates) was made.

This (actual) limitation is documented at
[[meta:Help:Inputbox#Impossibility_to_use_an_expression_for_a_parameter_value]].

At
http://ro.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Format:Creeaz%C4%83_articol/alternativ%C4%83&action=history
are some tests regaring this limitation.

default={{CURRENTDAYNAME}},&nbsp;{{CURRENTDAY}}&nbsp;{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}&nbsp;{{CURRENTYEAR}},&nbsp;ora&nbsp;([[w:UTC|UTC]])
default=Wikiştiri:{{creează articol/truc}}
default=Wikiştiri:{{SUBST:creează articol/truc}}

*If* the actual software design would permit to use variables (and as a maximal
requirement templates) many conflicts due to already existing titles could be
avoided.


This requirement somehow relates
- to what is called *actual title* at bug 1575 comment 4
- to what is called *legal article title* at bug 2797 comment 1

Comment 1 Rob Church 2006-06-25 02:17:44 UTC

Let me clear this up. The request is to have variables replaced in the "default"
parameter before using it to fill in the default title?

Comment 2 Judson (enwiki:cohesion) 2006-08-13 06:07:26 UTC

I think so, I would use this as well, for making date based pages also.

Comment 3 Judson (enwiki:cohesion) 2006-08-13 06:44:52 UTC

Actually, it's easier to just not use inputbox for this, and just encode the
variables all in a url.

Comment 4 Rob Church 2007-08-19 21:26:57 UTC

This was done in r24580.
