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)
