Can reproduce this bug on MW versions 1.19 and 1.21, also note it effects 1.22, see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Thread:Project:Support_desk/Inputbox_in_1.22.0
To reproduce this bug.
WikiEditor with side-by-side preview on using Chrome or IE
- Edit any page
- <inputbox>type=create</inputbox>
- Click side-by-side preview
- Type in a summary if inclined or needed and Click save
- Note, you have just edited and saved to the "Main page" not the page you were editing
Alternatively, you can click the Preview button at bottom of page after you use side-by-side preview and note the change of links being rewritten. Hover over, Page link or Talk link and see the link back to Main page. If you have the Main page protected, you will see the protection notice and then the preview of the inputbox.
I've also noted odd behavior with type=search similar in nature being rewritten to a Special page but have not investigated it.
I cannot reproduce this bug using Firefox so what is different? Should this be assigned to WikiEditor, but I cannot reproduce this behavior unless InputBox is installed and the tag <inputbox> appears on the page in the edit window.
