I have a MediaWiki page listing all the rivers of the world [not really] as local hyperlinks. Whenever someone creates a "river page" by clicking on the link, I want the page automatically populated with a "river template".
Can I do this?
I realize I could pre-populate all the river pages with the river template, but, of the one million river links, I only expect about 100K of them to ever be created, and it seems like a waste of space to create 1 million template pages when I'll only need 100K.
