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
