Is it possible to auto fill new question form using GET parameters ?
I tried with
/questions/ask?title=Foo
it fills title well.
How can do it with question and tags ?

I`m trying to generate some url to fill form from outside of browser (because of no write API) and open it when user fills form in my app.– hszFeb 6, 2013 at 11:00

2@hsz: that sounds like a bad idea. Do the users of your application know and understand how SO/SE works? Will they confuse this with a general "fix-this-for-me" support form? I see a lot of bad questions resulting from this.– Joachim SauerFeb 6, 2013 at 11:35

First there is a form for that. But you can pre-fill the text with URL parameters.
For tags (e.g., c# and .net) and title:
/questions/ask?title=Foo&tags=c%23+.net
For the text area as well:
/questions/ask?title=Foo&tags=c%23+.net&question=thisisfortextarea

Unfortunate example with c++ as tag. Using multiple tags would require to add them with + Feb 6, 2013 at 11:08

The
question=portion for the text area isn't working. (Just by pasting in the example above). Is there an alternative to put text in the question body? Jan 24, 2014 at 12:44
