That actually looks like a great idea for what I'd like to do, since I'm still trying to figure out Semantic Forms, and this looks like a good alternative for stock MediaWiki.
As for that template, it's pretty much what I had in mind for this story generator idea, so thank you for the help, Matma. However, I'd wondering if I could implement the template in the below manner somehow: I'd like to provide a page with the instruction on how to use the silly story generator, then an input box (I have the InputBox extension) when the template can be added, and the result can be shown on another page or window. Either that, or transcluded into a section below the Inputbox which can be cleared off and purged for reuse. I'm not averse to installing any extensions if I have to to make this work (I assume I'd probably need the Labeled Section Transclusion Extension or something similar for the above idea) > To: [email protected] > Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2013 17:57:06 +0100 > From: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [MediaWiki-l] Was wondering if I could make a "story generator" > in MediaWiki? > > The best you could do with vanilla MW is to create a template with the story > text, and call the template with appropriate variables.
