Hi Manuela,
I am sure you can do this by using the standard object model and extension interface of MediaWiki. I really advice against manipulating the database directly. Maybe you could even use the "Action API" of MediaWiki: 1. Use the parser hook / special page to create the desired form (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/HTMLForm) 2. Create a resourceloader module to load javascript (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ResourceLoader/Developing_with_ResourceLoader#Server-side) 3. When the user submits the form, assemble the wikitext from the form fields and use the "Action API" to create/edit the wikipage (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit, https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/REL1_31/js/#!/api/mw.Api.plugin.edit and https://doc.wikimedia.org/mediawiki-core/REL1_31/js/#!/api/mw.Api ) -- Robert ________________________________ Von: MediaWiki-l <[email protected]> im Auftrag von Manuela <[email protected]> Gesendet: Dienstag, 29.

I have already thought about that. What would be a better way, a Special-Page Extension? I had the idea of entering a page title and some initial content into a form and creating a new page from that. This is the way how many users would expect it to work, and obviously there is no simple way in MediaWiki to do so. My code is really simple, just creating the hook, defining a test page title and test content and trying to create a page from that. I will post the full code this evening. If there is no simple way I must go the hard (and dirty) way and use SQL for directly accessing the database, greetings Manuela -- Sent from: http://mediawiki-i.429.n8.nabble.com/ MediaWiki-I | Mailing List Archive<http://mediawiki-i.429.n8.nabble.com/> mediawiki-i.429.n8.nabble.com MediaWiki-I forum and mailing list archive.
