I want to create a template that works like the ask bar in an answers wiki (is it possible to copy the whole bar?), I know that I can use the link  to create the question, but how I can use that? I mean, how can I create a input field with a button to create a question? (I'd like to use this template on another wiki, not on the answers wiki itself)


 * So, basically you want an inputbox that people can type in to create a new article? --Gardimuer { ʈalk } 19:40, November 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, I've also read the whole documentation on MediaWiki.org, but there are two problems with the MediaWiki imputbox:
 * The create button use Special:CreatePage, not Special:CreateQuestionPage.
 * The imputbox works only in the wiki it's placed, you cannot create a page on another wiki.
 * I can't figure it out a solution... if you are wondering why I want it working between two wikis, it's simple: I want an input box on my wiki (One Piece) with which you can ask questions on One Piece Answers.


 * I would put in a request to Wikia. They used to support this as a sidebar widget, but after the introduction of Oasis and the extended neglect of the answers wikis, they never made an equivalent for Oasis skinned wikis. I will see if I can dig up the old widget code. I might still have something in it that works for the new answers wikis. -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 14 Nov 2011 6:49 PM Pacific

I solved using html codes in a mediawiki page and then embed it with the verbatin tags, the code is


 * Yeah, I found the old widget template and it doesn't work anymore. Your example is in Italian, right? -- Fandyllic (talk &middot; contr) 15 Nov 2011 2:27 PM Pacific


 * I modified the old WoW.Answers widget template on WoWWiki to use your new verbatim code and it works nicely.
