Forum:Problem with the special tag inputbox: type=commenttitle

I wanted an input box on a page so I could (i) enter the desired title of a new section, (ii) click a button and (iii) have the editor open on that page with that new section heading created and ready to start editing. At http://www.wikia.com/wiki/User:Najevi/Contact_Wikia I have used the markup: I have also tried
 * default=
 * default="User:Najevi/Contact Wikia"

I believe this to be per the instructions at http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Inputbox#How_do_I_add_a_comment_box_to_a_page.3F

The problem is that the string entered into the input box is not being used as the new section title. Instead it attempts to use that string as the new page title. viz.

Has type=commenttitle been deprecated or it's intended usage changed somehow?

 * Some month ago, staff have runned a bot on all wikis on Wikia to change all occurences of the inputbox tag to the createbox tag.
 * See this history page as en example.
 * Oops, bad exemple; i used my own bot on that wiki to do the work before them.
 * So, i think the inputbox should not be used anymore.
 * And i dont know if the createbox support what you want. Sorry. — TulipVorlax 01:52, November 27, 2009 (UTC)


 * Help:Createbox redirects to Help:Inputbox and I am aware of a very recent change to the Wikia trunk for inputbox.php so I am certain that the special tag inputbox has not been deprecated. On closer inspection of http://trac.wikia-code.com/browser/wikia/trunk/extensions/wikia/InputBox/inputbox.php#L119 I now realize that there is no reference to the type: commenttitle.
 * Therefore, I suspect that this sub-type has been disabled.
 * If that is the case then I might have to ask Special:Contact how I can design a page as described above in some other way. I'll do that in a few days if nobody offers a solution here.

The help page was wrong. You have to define page, not default.--AB 11:44, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
