Nelson,
The mailing list strips attachments for everyone's safety. Do you think you could post your image on a publicly accessible site instead?
Do you just want a page with a form that a user fills out and then you create a new article from the form input? If that is the case, create a new special page and use the $wgRequest variable to work with the submitted data.

Hello,
1. Can someone tell me how to manually or dynamically create a page that shows the following table for user inputs? (See attached file: Snap.png) 2. Assume question one resolved, which means that I have created the page manually in MediaWiki. If I want to use php code to retrieve the data from wikidb and pre-populate the table fields so that users can see the current value before they put updates, how do I "call" this page and pass the db-retrieved data to the page?
3. After user inputs the updates and hit the "Submit updates" button, how do I get the user inputs in order to update my wikidb?
I am pretty new to MW and still struggle to the core php code. Please give detail instructions when answer my questions. Thank you and have a Happy New Year.
