Courtney,

Yes, the attached screenshot is just a html with a form table.  You may not
believe it, but it is true that I don't know how to manulally create a wiki
page with the form that user can fill out.  Also, I would like to be able
to pre-fill the form using php code with the data I retrieved from the DB.

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.
