Template:GuestbookWidget

Be the first to share a memory.

➕ Add a Memory

Drop {{GuestbookWidget}} into any memorial page's Guestbook section. It works on whichever page it's placed on — no page name to fill in — by transcluding "<This page>/Guestbook" and linking to a VisualEditor edit of that same subpage.

Important: do NOT pre-create the "PersonName/Guestbook" subpage. VisualEditor's preload only fires for a page that doesn't exist yet — if the subpage already exists (even blank), the first visitor loses the pre-filled form. The

above shows a friendly placeholder instead of a redlink until

the first memory is saved.

The first memory on a page opens pre-filled via preload. After that, the page already has content, so VisualEditor can no longer preload it automatically — later visitors use VisualEditor's Insert > Template > Memory dialog instead (TemplateData gives it labeled fields and a real photo picker).
