Summary: A new input type for an enumeration with multiple
values allowed
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: SemanticForms
AssignedTo: yaro...@gmail.com
ReportedBy: trues...@gmail.com
CC: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org, trues...@gmail.com
In your (Yaron's) words:
"A new input type for an enumeration with multiple values allowed -
instead of a listbox or checkboxes, have each additional value be
selectable using a separate dropdown, with the ability to add or
remove dropdowns using buttons."
Synopsis:
On a form, a declaration that might be similar to
<pre>
'''Contributors'''.
{{field|Names|input type=combobox|multiple|add_button_text="Add another name"}}
</pre>
would result in a form showing
<pre>Contributors
[Add another name] <= button
</pre>
Action: hit the [Add another name] button and select Rick Jones
<pre>Contributors
Rick Jones [Remove]
[Add another name]
</pre>
Action: hit the [Add another name] button and select Bruce Banner
<pre>Contributors
Rick Jones [Remove]
Bruce Banner [Remove]
[Add another name]
</pre>
Today, this can be done with SIO, a separate template, and the multiple keyword
when used on a Form:page. However, that reduces the flexibility of the form
layout since the separate template needs to be outside of the "main" template
on the form. There are a few other advantages / disadvantages that I can bring
up in comments if necessary, so I can keep this as short as possible.
