c) to have *another button label* then the one specified in

[[MediaWiki:Createarticle]]

Hallo!

Having the option to choose the name of the inputbox button would also add
greather flexibility in design.

I can also imagine to use inputbox in another context namely to have an "one key
preview" for large templates creating hundreds of more or less useless links.

Many of the pages listed at
http://ro.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Allpages&namespace=4&from=Proiectul
could be replaced with "preview" buttons (or equivalent links).

They relate to the listing and disamibiguation of 13.000 places in Romania.

In this context
http://ro.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Proiectul_localit%C4%83%C5%A3ile_din_Rom%C3%A2nia/List%C4%83_de_localit%C4%83%C5%A3i_-_litera_C_-_Ce_%28ghid%29&action=edit
coild be replaced with a "''preview inputpox''" of a more general template where
paramters as
"litera C - Ce|(ghid)"
would either be inserted manualy in the "box" or the / an alternate syntax
similar to
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?action=edit&preload=Template%3ATest&editintro=Template%3ATest+intro&create=Create+article&title=User_talk%3ATestingggg
would be used.

Thanks and best regards Reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]

P.S. If the new "option parameter" would *not* be specified
[[MediaWiki:Createarticle]] should be used as default. This assures backward
compatibility of existing templates.

Added buttonlabel= and searchbuttonlabel= options. Again, please create
''separate'' bugs for ''separate'' feature requests. You split the bug but added
a new feature request at the same time. ;-(
