Extensions are your first/best place to check out for add-on features.... there's a lot of them that do really neat things

Not sure it's too easy to do full-on drop downs

but you can preload a new page using this great extension http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Inputbox

so you could create some custom inputboxes for creating the specific types of pages you regularly use.....that would present the user with an edit box with some preloaded text of what items to fill in etc.....

Good luck/have fun

Hello all,

I have Media wiki setup and have been using it to collaborate for a few months now and I love it.

We have noticed that we tend to create pages that very similar in form

(like

section headings, initial content, etc..) and organization.

Is there a way to create a php page that has some built in template

features

like maybe drop downs of section heading options and some default text so that when we want to create a new wiki page we

can

just go to this page, enter the title and make a few selections and it creates a new wiki page when submitted?

I assume there must be a way to hook into the php functions that handle

new

page creation, anyone ever done anything like this?

Thanks in advance, matt
