Extension:Page Forms/nl

Page Forms (tot november 2016 bekend als Semantic Forms) is een uitbreiding op MediaWiki waarmee gebruikers gegevens kunnen toevoegen, bewerken en bevragen middels formulieren. Zij is oorspronkelijk gemaakt als een zijtak van de -uitbreiding, om sjablonen te kunnen bewerken die hun parameters opslaan via SMW, en daarom werd ze oorspronkelijk "Semantic Forms" genoemd. Ze kan nu echter ook werken met de alternatieve -uitbreiding, of met geen van beide uitbreidingen geïnstalleerd.

Simpel gezegd maakt Page Forms op uw wiki formulieren voor het aanmaken en wijzigen van pagina's mogelijk, evenals voor het bevragen van gegevens, allemaal zonder enige vorm van programmeren. Formulieren kunnen niet slechts door beheerders, maar ook door gebruikers zelf worden gemaakt en bewerkt.

De belangrijkste onderdelen van de 'Page Forms'-functionaliteit zijn formulierdefinitiepagina's die in een afzonderlijke naamruimte 'Formulier:' staan. Dit zijn pagina's die bestaan uit opmaakcode die wordt geparset wanneer een gebruiker naar een formulier gaat. Aangezien formulieren enkel via deze definitiepagina's worden gedefinieerd, kunnen gebruikers zelf formulieren maken en wijzigen, zonder dat daarvoor enige vorm van programmeren nodig is.

The Page Forms extension is mostly used to add and edit calls to infobox-style templates within pages. A form allows a user to populate a pre-defined set of templates, as well as page sections, for any page; if Cargo or Semantic MediaWiki are used, the data within the templates can then be stored and queried.

Forms can also be used to edit the data in an existing page, and you can enable an "" tab to show up on any page.

Page Forms also supports autocompletion of fields, so users can easily see what the previously-entered values were for a given field. This greatly helps to avoid issues of naming ambiguity, spelling, etc.

Data in a page that doesn't fit into the form, like a free-form text description of the page's subject, isn't ignored when the page is edited with a form; rather, it is placed into a separate input box called "free text".

Page Forms also includes a wide variety of other functionality related to forms.
