Re: [Semediawiki-user] How to display parent comment's title when replying to it

Here you go:

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GetParam


You should be able to set the parameter in the query string, pick it
up in the form and then fire off an ask query using it's value
(untested!).

However, on the form page, I am not able to use/display the parent comment id outside the "for template" where the parent id can only be seen inside its form box.
