Forum:CreatePage - is it deprecated or supported ?


 * Help article: Help:CreatePage
 * Deprecate hints: Forum:Createpage#bug

This feature seemed like it might be useful and I confirmed that it is listed as an installed extension at vsk.wikia.com. However, as I started to explore it I get the impression that it is either buggy or deprecated.

If the project is alive then please point me to where it is being developed and/or discussed. najevi 06:30, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I wanted to set it up properly on the ROSE Online wiki but someone telled me that they will get rid of it in the future when an upgrade of the mediawiki software make it unusable somehow. So i began making my own template system on that wiki. But all users that comes only see the things of the CreatePage wich has never been set up to the needs of documenting that game properly. It feel like sitting between two chair. — TulipVorlax 07:46, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough. I shall plan to avoid using Createpage. I have found that the necessary quick start can be provided using CreateBox and the preload parameter instead. I am just a little concerned about how friendly this will be for users of the Almost-WYSYWIG editor. najevi 08:39, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * If you look at mw:Extension:InputBox, you'll see that the "editintro" parameter also comes in handy. An example is at w:c:guildwars:Template:ZquestInfo/Create_Bounty. -- ◄mendel► 14:15, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Even tough it's in french, if someone want to test the createbox, you can do it on this page (but dont save if not necessairy). — TulipVorlax 18:41, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
