Hi David, Yes you can use the parameter "default=Patukae/" to load the default text for the input box.
See: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:InputBox Some newbies may find this confusing and they will be able to delete and or change the default text. Its your call. I would still auto nstert a category in your pre-load text so you can monitor new pages created and check that they were created properly -- then you can remove the category. Easier to monitor this way saving time and energy.
