Using #forminput to make new pages with a form

See more here:

Make a new page by entering the name of an already existing or new page. Then click 'create or edit' and the form will be added to the new or existing page.

Combobox input in form

• We added the code input type=combobox to the field definition in the Form:Private databox page in the field Copyright status. The combobox works.--DivineCriticizer (talk) 00:48, 19 June 2015 (PDT)

Making a model class

This was done so we can see the codes that are generated for each of the fields that were made with different properties, types and values. To see this, go to the various pages based on the class 'Model' (for example Form:Model, Template:Model, and the test page made based on this model Testing the Model form).

Make a page with the Model form

Make such a Page by entering the name of the page you wish to make, or the name of an already existing page. Then click 'create or edit'.
