Submission method
The form can be set to use either the POST or GET submission method. if you are trying to submit the data via a GET request, you will have to add the following:
 * POST (default): The form fields' contents are not shown in the page URL. This method should be used for forms that change the wiki content (e.g. edit pages or block users).
 * GET: The form fields' contents are shown in the page URL. The resulting URL can be bookmarked or linked to allow others to view it. However, submission of very long forms (multiple kilobytes of text) may fail. This method should be used for forms that do not change the wiki content (e.g. show a list of pages).
