Help with boxes
Hello,

I'm probably being really stupid, but I need some help!

At Mornington Crescent Wiki I would like to use an input box to start a new game. The games are in the Mornington Crescent: namespace, and are identified by the names of the players playing the game.

I would also like some preloaded text within the page, and the input box fills in blanks etc. Also, on the games, I would like an input box to play the next move.

Is any of that possible?

Please let me know!

I tried that link. Page does not exist. Robin Patterson 02:16, 17 October 2008 (UTC)


 * This is true - the apparent blue link is due to the way shared help works. I have created remaining articles as stubs, and listed them here. Kirkburn (talk) 18:46, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Search buttons messed-up
The search inputbox has 2 buttons on it, each labelled differently...except as far as I can tell the 2 buttons each do the exact same thing. This seems messed-up. According to another user, the inputbox extension on wikia is old and this has been fixed in the more recent extension. --Jason C.K. 01:05, 13 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll see what I can find out. Kirkburn (talk) 13:18, 13 January 2009 (UTC)


 * We've updated the inputbox extension, but the search boxes are still the same. As far as I know, the first link "Try exact match" will take you the closest page match - or the search page if that fails. "Search full text" always uses the search page. Kirkburn (talk) 23:48, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, they now work as they're "supposed to". Previously both buttons always did the same thing.  Now they work as described, exact match vs. full text

Parameter "bgcolor" for CreateBox?
The page gives a code example using the parameter "bgcolor" for "CreateBox". But MW:Extension:CreateBox doesn't mention that parameter. "InputBox" supports "bgcolor", but "CreateBox" doesn't. Or am I wrong? -- Weas-El ✉  18:26, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Suggestion
Is it possible to modify the box so that when pressed, it will add text to an already existing section of choice? Kamikaze839 20:56, November 23, 2013 (UTC)
