Hello,

I've been familiar with the  tag for a while at this point, but something that's always bothered me is how it only presents a limited range of inputs. The only reason I continue to use it is because it makes sorting pages into categories much easier. For example, let's say that I insert  into an infobox and give it some options and a default.

If I then insert the infobox into a page and call up the  parameter and enter a specific word or phrase, the infobox will automatically sort the page into a specific category. Entering  gives me a, entering   gives me b, and so on.

But what if I want a custom input that doesn't pertain to any of the given choices? If I were to enter any input that was not one of the choices, the tag chooses the default option instead. Entering  would just give me unknown. So my question is this: Is there a way to add a "custom" option, where any input is accepted?

Thanks. Wiki and template in question can be given if requested, but I don't think they're necessary in this case, since it's a rather independent question.
