Talk:Starting text hack

Multiple starting texts

Is there anyway to have multiple starting text 'templates' so that if the wikipage does not exist, the user will be shown a list of templates and can choose one to start with? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.127.19.210 (talk • contribs) 05:08, 23 June 2005.

Multiple text areas in the edit page

I would like to have a customized edit page, where I have several "section", possibly created by parsing some template (like the new page template in wikipedia), so that my users will know edit separate page sections (possibly with a short editing help that appears right above the text area). Started reading the edit.php, wondered if perhaps someone did it before me. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.25.124.147 (talk • contribs) 14:48, 29 November 2006.

How does it compare to Extension:Preloader?

Is there an advantage over Extension:Preloader? Thanks! -79.179.190.96 02:17, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Does it use the official preload technique?

Should it be mentioned in the official preloading manual? -79.179.111.10 12:09, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
