html element 'input' placeholder correction

What I think should be changed:

the input box has hardcoded "Page Name" data/content instead of html placeholder

Why it should be changed:

Hardcoded data remains into input text box upon focus and requires deletion before using as intended...

References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):

"HTML Standard - Input placeholder attribute". html.spec.whatwg.org. Retrieved 2022-02-07.

Extra stuff i felt like saying:

Code on the current page goes as follows:

<input name="title" class="mw-inputbox-input mw-ui-input mw-ui-input-inline mw-inputbox-createbox" value="Page Name" placeholder="" required="" size="50" dir="ltr"/>

"Page Name" shouldn't be inside the 'value=' parameter but in 'placeholder=' as follows:

<input name="title" class="mw-inputbox-input mw-ui-input mw-ui-input-inline mw-inputbox-createbox" value="" placeholder="Page Name" required="" size="50" dir="ltr"/>

Note: i understand maybe this is misplaced and should be in some template somehow but please forgive my ignorance and before taking negative actions against this, have the decency to add positive input to this. Thank you

@Oldfart404 Next time please use an edit request template, such as Template:Edit fully-protected - it will add the request to the admin backlog queue. — xaosflux ^Talk 22:19, 6 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Make this work for other namespaces

I genuinely have no idea how this wizard works, but if somebody can make this with namespaces other than Main, that would be great.

For example, if I type Wikipedia:Edit Request Wizard into the text box, it redirects me to the invalid Talk:Wikipedia:Edit Request Wizard, when instead it should redirect to Wikipedia talk:Edit Request Wizard.

Thanks in advance for anyone who can help with this! QuickQuokka ^{[⁠talk • contribs]} 22:09, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at mw:Extension:InputBox, it appears that it is not possible to use an InputBox to modify the input before submitting the form. The 'prefix=' param is used, but it proves insufficient for non-mainspace pages. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 22:39, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Sungodtemple: Well that sucks

. Maybe we should add something to inform people that this input box is not compatible with other namespaces. QuickQuokka ^{[⁠talk • contribs]} 09:53, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ambiguous instructions regarding pages that are "sparsely edited" Reply Suggestion

The large edit request sections asks prospective user to only use the feature "for pages that are sparsely edited". This is somewhat ambiguous, even to an experienced editor. What alternatives should someone be redirected to if a page isn't "sparsely edited" (and what is the reasoning for this provision)? WhinyTheYounger ※ Talk 13:15, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
