I am using Mediawiki on Debian Lenny.
By default, creating a new page starts with blank i.e. no wikitext. Users needs to put headings, text etc.
I need to include following standard headers by default every time a new page is created. Here is the wikitext:
==Basic Description==
==Explain==
==See also==
==References==
==External links==
What is the best way to do this? I have already created a template for the above page [[Template:MyTemplate]] and it seems that I can use it on a new black page with the following syntax {{Template:MyTemplate}}. However I would like to go one step further in the sense that whenever a user creates a new page, it will automatically populate from the template. Kushal Koolwal
