Code of "special:CreateCategory
Hello there,

at the moment i want something like the "special:createcategory" page, but which creates a category which has to be a subcategory of a category of a certain category tree. Preferably without the option to choose a form for it.

Using a form, it would be something like:

The problem with forms is that it creates pages, and not categories. How could i do to create a "category creator" with my own restrictions?

Thanks.


 * A "category" is just defined by a page in the "Category:" namespace. Couldn't you just create a regular form like the one you describe, and use it to create "Category:" pages? Yaron Koren (talk) 18:14, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Modified form and template - duplicated data
Hello!

I created a few pages with a form, then I modified the form and the template (I added 5 properties to them in a table). Then on a page when I click on the edit with form button, enter the new inputs and click on save, the data is duplicated on the edited page. The first table doesn't have any values, the second table is filled out with the data I entered, and all other sections are duplicated too. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? 13:53, 5 June 2015 (UTC)


 * It sounds like you renamed the template at some point? If so, you can use the Replace Text extension to modify all the existing pages to use the new template name - or just edit them manually, if there aren't too many. Yaron Koren (talk) 18:10, 5 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your quick response, but that's not the case, I didn't rename the template, I just added a few new properties to it. What else could be the problem? 13:24, 8 June 2015 (UTC)


 * It would help to see the form and template. Is this a public wiki? If not, could you pastebin them? Yaron Koren (talk) 14:02, 8 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Of course, though I've already found out what the problem was. This was the bad one: http://pastebin.com/mNVhqppy and this is the working one: http://pastebin.com/iF1HwA4K 14:19, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Show on select on Multiple-instance templates
Hello!

I would like to ask the experts how can I use "show on select" when using multiple-instance templates.

If I use "show on select" it this way, it does not work

But if I remove the multiple instance, then the "show on select" works.

...

Any hints?

Thanks in advance!


 * That should work... what versions of SF and MW are you using? And do you see any JavaScript errors if you look in the "console"? Yaron Koren (talk) 14:47, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

missing icons in multiple form
hi there, using sf 3.2 and mw 1.23.9: the multiple form doesn't show the icons for new instance and delete instance. Same problem in firefox (v38) and ie (v9). What to do?
