How that thing is called?
In |Dog pageviews tool (and of course millions of other places), there is that inputbox for article titles (where currently "Dog" and "Cat" are). If you enter something and start entering something else, those two things will be separate entries. The question is: how that thing is called? Want to do some reading... But you have to know, how that's called :) -- Edgars2007  (talk/contribs) 08:18, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

 * if you mean specifically an input box that collects user input in tag-like buttons, there doesn't seem to be an established term, but implementers variously call it multi-select box, pillbox, tags input box. 78.53.24.144 (talk) 15:50, 31 October 2017 (UTC)


 * A bit of code searching, and a bit of Googling and it looks like it's called Select2 - X201 (talk) 16:26, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, X201 and 78.53.24.144. That bootstrap solution looks more what I was trying to find. X201, you posted the same link as 78.53.24.144 :) . -- Edgars2007  (talk/contribs) 16:49, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
