Thank you. BoilerplateSelection would work but since it takes the user to an edit page so early in the use of the wiki, it overwhelms them. My experience using wikis inside business organizations is that form is far more important than function to get them to early adopt use of wikis as a productivity/team building tool. I will try to modify PagesOnDemand. Thank you so much for your help! Nancy
