Hi Brian,
As far as I can see, nothing has changed on the plain editor w.r.t. the
_editedtext parameter name.
You can still use it to overwrite the content of the edit area.
Thanks very much, Dirk. You have helped me to decide which of the two
possible problem determination "trees" to follow first.
One of my first new JIRAs (hopefully this weekend) is about the recent
"change" in tomcat8 classloading behaviour, which means our "old" advice
about putting your extra wiki jars into WEB-INF/lib/ no longer works.
However, I have a much neater workaround (no war surgery) where I think
I can get it loaded in time by the most appropriate class loader and
before it needs to be used. (That logic changed or was clarified in the
TC docs late last year).
I will work on my problem today with a lot of focus and optimism after
your very helpful reply.

However, I would have expected to see another edit URL, i.e. without /wiki
:
https://my.web.server/Edit.jsp?page=<pageIdentification>&_editedtext=<my plugin
invocation>
Hope this helps a bit,

Janne Jalkanen helped me resolve this requirement of my PhotoCollection
plugin in February 2009! I have not needed to make a change since that
time and use the "feature" all the time.
It stopped working on my production wiki late in 2018, along with some
other things not directly related to JSPWiki for which I will open and
hopefully close JIRAs very soon.
It might be related to my in-place upgrade to jspwiki-2.10.3-git-32, but
perhaps not. I ought to RTFM, but I thought a quick question might
produce an obvious answer to one of the developers and thus would be
usefully documented in the mailing list archives. If not, I will do more
research and answer the question myself in due course.
I decided it was best to open a new thread, rather than try to revive
one that is 10 years old!!!
Janne told me the following:-

When I append &_editedtext="mystuff" to the automatically generated url,
e.g.
https://my.web.server/wiki/Edit.jsp?page=<pageIdentification>&_editedtext='<my
plugin invocation>'
I get back the following error message:-
HTTP error 400 - this is not working
Not surprisingly, if I remove the _editedtext parameter and its data, I
drop straight into being asked to create a new page and (obviously) have
no help from the plugin to insert the correct INSERT stuff.
Can I hear any distant bells ringing??
Yours hopefully, but puzzled,
Brian
