Option to choose editor (traditional vs VisualEditor) in InputBox extension
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

When you use type=create the link that is opened is using the wikitext editor. It would be very useful to have an option to make it start in VisualEditor which would make inputbox even more useful to setup for use with beginners.
