splitted requests from bug 2805 "<inputbox> should allow to set predefined titles" bug 2805 comment 0 > a) However it might be usefull to provide the ability to *insert predefined > titles* (for the articles to be created. Each wiki could decide (on each > occurence) where no requirement about *flexible predefined titles* (trough templates) was made. This (actual) limitation is documented at [[meta:Help:Inputbox#Impossibility_to_use_an_expression_for_a_parameter_value]]. At http://ro.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Format:Creeaz%C4%83_articol/alternativ%C4%83&action=history are some tests regaring this limitation. default={{CURRENTDAYNAME}}, {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}, ora ([[w:UTC|UTC]]) default=Wikiştiri:{{creează articol/truc}} default=Wikiştiri:{{SUBST:creează articol/truc}} *If* the actual software design would permit to use variables (and as a maximal requirement templates) many conflicts due to already existing titles could be avoided. This requirement somehow relates - to what is called *actual title* at bug 1575 comment 4 - to what is called *legal article title* at bug 2797 comment 1 Best regards Reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
Let me clear this up. The request is to have variables replaced in the "default" parameter before using it to fill in the default title?
I think so, I would use this as well, for making date based pages also.
Actually, it's easier to just not use inputbox for this, and just encode the variables all in a url.
This was done in r24580.
