Summary: autocompletion allows only existing values
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: SemanticForms

Consider a field that lets a user set a value based on category Wiki Page:
{{{field|Homepage|autocomplete on category=Wiki Page}}}
Today, this field specification will allow the user to save a value that does
not exist. I propose that the field be defined so that the final value is
limited to existing values. For example,
{{{field|Homepage|autocomplete on category=Wiki Page|mustexist}}}
The user could still type in a non-existing page, since it's a combobox.
Existence is verified after the user hits "Save page". If the value does not
exist within the specified set (category=Wiki Page above), an error message
displays and the form stays open. This behavior would match that of a
mandatory string field that is empty on "Save page".
