Created attachment 6749 [details] Small patch to enable additional formlink mode Yaron, On a project I'm working on, the page name of a page created with a form is set to a concatenation of the Current User and the Current date stamp. I couldn't figure out a way to do this with formlink, so I created this small patch. Basically, if the formlink query string begins with a slash (/), the query string is treated as the page name. This allowed me to do something like: {{#formlink:DK_Report_Compilation|Create DK Report Compilation|button|/{{CURRENTUSER}}-{{#time: Y m d H:i:s}}}} This resulted in Special:AddData being invoked in the mode Special:AddData/FORM_NAME/TARGET_NAME and gave me the flexibility to use magic words in specifying the target page name. Unless there is a better way to do what I'm trying to do using the existing code, hope you find this useful. Thanks, Joel
Setting to "FIXED" - this is now possible, in a different way, now that the "page name=" is parsed by MW in version 1.9. It means that you can use variables like {{CURRENTUSER}} directly within the "page name" value.
