For the first bit of your message, you could try the extension at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:BoilerplateSelection -
personally I haven't used it but I haven't needed to. There's also
Extension:InputBox which has a preload option which, again, I've never
used that bit of it.

I'm designing a "skill repository" for a
corporate management team to know
who has expertise in some task. Instead of designing a custom SQL database,
I've been trying to use a wiki to allow them to log on and edit their user
page, which should contain a list of skills and associated ratings.
I've set up a sample user page, but it's proven too complicated for them to
copy the wikiText from the sample and paste it into their own user page. Is
there a way to inject my wikiText into the user page space in the database
when they create an account? The primary functionality I'm looking for is:
A) when they open their user page, they see the sample text [not an edit
box] and; B) they can edit the skill set and add numbers representing skill
level on their individual user page [excludes templates].
Any thoughts on good extensions/workarounds would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
