Extension:InputBox/de

The InputBox extension adds already created HTML forms to wiki pages. Users can "complete" a form (entering text, selecting menu items, etc.) by entering text into the box.

InputBox was originally created by Erik Möller for the purpose of adding a  box to Wikinews.

Allgemeine Syntax
InputBoxen sind folgendermaßen konstruiert:

The type parameter is mandatory. All other parameters are optional. preloadparams[] can appear more than once.

When instantiating the template, the first parameter gives the item that is created (default: ) as spelled out in the button, the second parameter gives the name of the template used to create the item (default:  ).

E.g., the code for an input box to create a new project from a project template might look like this:
