What would you suggest as a syntax for such a call?

My intuitive guess when I first tried it was to specify the form as:

Special:RunQuery/form-name

Where the "Special:RunQuery/" prefix can be used to detect how to handle the form link, like this:

{{#formlink: form = Special:RunQuery/form-name

}}

I don't like it; I think a separate parameter would be better.

Though I should note that you can already link to Special:RunQuery, with query string values, using {{fullurl}}:

How about this:

{{#formlink: form = form-name

}}

I supposed with a "form type" parameter syntax, it could make it possible to add other form types in the future, although I haven't thought of any specific possibilities for that yet.

Yes, I mentioned that in my original report. I wonder if a "form type=runquery" parameter in #formlink could be used to solve this also:

Like this:

{{#formlink: form = form-name

}}

The link text parameter would have to be ignored, if present along with a form type=runquery, embedded.

I think that's better than just transcluding embedded forms the way it's currently done, since the #formlink parser function could preload the form data on embedded forms.

Renamed to "#formlink should be able to link to Special:RunQuery" for clarity.
