Add type=content to inputbox
Open, Needs TriagePublicFeature

Description

Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):
Instead of (or additionally to) having an input for the page title, we would have an input for the actual content.

Might be rendered as a textarea, but that might require something like multiline=yes

Considerations

  • Should there be only one input for the content while the title is provided via default= or would there be two?
  • I can see, why one would be against such a feature when imagining having to
    • load a full-fledged editor for this
    • parse and URL-encode entire wikitext
  • (cont'd) so, supporting only a subset might be a suitable compromise

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):

  • Providing a comment
  • Adding minimal raw metadata to a non-default slot (T382673)

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):
When combined with T194606, workflows could be improved
