Add ability to append text to a page via url parameter
Closed, ResolvedPublicFeature

Description

Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where): I would like the ability to append text to a page by setting the section attribute to append.

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution): A lot of things: I have run into this problem many times while working on very different things, for example: The ability to append code to a user file, the ability for a template to update information, etc.

Benefits (why should this be implemented?): Currently without this feature there are many things I can’t make, simply because of this, and many others made much more complicated or hard to use.

Event Timeline

https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:UrlGetParameters already adds a parser function to get a url parameter.

I’m not sure how that’s related. What I'm looking for is a feature that appends text to the end of a page rather than just editing the page. (this is especially useful for code pages [e.g. css or js])

I might be misunderstanding the request, but perhaps this is already possible via the new-section form with the subject line removed, e.g. https://test.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandbox?action=edit&section=new&nosummary=1
