Always display query string?
How can I make my form to display a query result page, so that the query string is always shown in the URL line? is there a simple setting for this? Osishkin (talk) 06:55, 1 March 2013 (UTC)


 * You mean, have Special:RunQuery show its values in the URL query string? I don't think so; why do you want that? Yaron Koren (talk) 13:40, 1 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I want to allow users to share (facebook, email etc) pages of query results using an AddThis button. But since the query string is not displayed (I assume due to using a POST request), this is not possible Osishkin (talk) 22:09, 1 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Hm, that's true. Maybe a "link to these results" link at the bottom of any set of results would fix the problem? Yaron Koren (talk) 14:19, 5 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I can create that manually, but it would be much better to simply have the results in the URL line, so the AddThis button may be used Osishkin (talk) 14:59, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Create dynamic form
I am trying to create a form describing a multi-step process, where the number of steps isn't necessarily known (e.g. imagine a system for creating recepies, where the number of steps may vary). Is it possible to create a form which is dynamic, i.e. that it is possible to add new fields on the fly? (Similar to the CreateTemplate page where you have an "add field" button)

 * Yes - that's what multiple-instance templates are for. Yaron Koren (talk) 14:08, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
