Hi there!
With the inputbox extension, is there a way to directly create a page without having to submit the edit form that is displayed after clicking inputbox's create button?
Cheers, Ingmar

This will create a new article in my mediawiki without doing anything elese. You can edit the article directly. <inputbox> type=create width=24 buttonlabel=Create me! </inputbox>

Yes, you can edit it. I want to skip that step by providing a preload page that, in the following example, just contains {{person}}. Clicking on "Create new person!" should end up on the rendered new page, not its edit view.
<inputbox> type=create width=24 buttonlabel=Create new person! preload=Default person </inputbox>

I'm trying to set my wiki up so that each article points people to go to the Talk page to discuss the content, and I'd like to have content on each article's Talk page describing the rules and a 'how to use' section so our users can follow the same format to discuss articles.
I'm using the wonderful inputbox extension and a template to preload text into newly created pages. How can I have text preloaded into the Talk page at the same time?

In fact, it would be even cooler if I could have not a page reference, but plaintext preloaded, like
<inputbox> type=create width=24 buttonlabel=Create me! preload_plaintext={{person]] </inputbox>
Hi,

<inputbox> type=create width=24 buttonlabel=Create me! preload_plaintext={{person]] </inputbox>
This means preloading a template? This is possible. Look here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Inputbox#Preload

I have read that, of course. I would like to have "{{person}}" preloaded in the page, not the content of Template:person.

hmm....what you're asking would essentially mean the inputbox becomes a form to create a wiki page ............. don't think anyone's figured that out with this extension yet
it would open a crazy range of possiblities for forms to create content in the wiki ...which I'm not sure is where anyone wants to go with MW .......... too simplified.....have to get your lazy users to create / edit the pages themselves....
