However, if you add a couple lines to the inputbox.php files in the right places, you can use the multiple starting text hack to do your preloading for you. As noted in the previous comment, preload doesn't work. (Or: how I got the same functionality with 1.4) Well, I really wanted this and I'm scared of upgrading, so I downloaded and tried it. Integration with Multiple Starting Text Hack Also, my site is here, for reference's sake. I already made sure the MediaWiki messages (Searchfulltext, tryexact, createarticle) exist and have the proper messages they do (and the messages are just text, with no brackets), but the buttons won't change. In 1.5, these already exist.- Eloquence 01:57, 25 August 2005 (UTC) Reply I have sort of a similar problem, except the angle brackets are displaying as raw HTML. However, you should be able to get the correct messages by editing (creating) MediaWiki:text in brackets, e.g. You won't be able to use preload without MediaWiki 1.5, as this part of the code resides in MediaWiki itself and does not exist in 1.4. Any idea how to get rid of the brackets? Thank you. Also, the button text is enclosed between brackets. But create new page and search work fine. Oh, and the "default" option is not working either. Any suggestions on what could be a problem? Arguably, such a type should insert " talk" into the namespace if not already present.Īnd would it be hard to add the facility to use an explicit message string rather than just a reference to a template? To make this truly effective, it would seem expedient to add a third type, corresponding to the new section "+" functionality of talk pages. In w:Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#User talk inputbox, Angela proposes using this extension to add messages to user talk pages, with the note that it only works for previously blank talk pages.

Master Thief Garrett 7 July 2005 21:10 (UTC) Yup that is definitely a nice way to go, and furthermore you could customize the prefix at will, so you can create, for instance, a category by only putting the name, and the page Category:name would be created. As it is I'd have to manually enter the prefix each and every time I wanted to add a page. That way, I could place it on, say, Wikipedia:Votes for deletion and only need to enter "Alpha" to create Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Alpha. Yes, that idea is good! I'd also like to be able to define a prefix for the created page. The button label "create article" can be customized, like "create city article".- Patrick 6 July 2005 10:22 (UTC)
