The chunk of wiki text is actually over several lines - is this solution only for inserting single lines?
If you want to insert multiple lines, your addition may look more like this:
mwCustomEditButtons[mwCustomEditButtons.length] = { "imageFile": "url of the button image", "speedTip": "Custom text", "tagOpen": "", "tagClose": "", "sampleText": "First line of template text\n" + "Second line of template text\n" + "Third and final line of template text." };

It may be hard without any programming knowledge...
The extra buttons at wikipedia are controlled by javascript in the page Mediawiki:Common.js. I've made this a bit easier to read on our wiki:

What you need to do is define another button handler for your desired text.
mwCustomEditButtons[mwCustomEditButtons.length] = { "imageFile": "url of the button image", "speedTip": "Custom text", "tagOpen": "", "tagClose": "", "sampleText": "insert custom text here"};
I think that will work. Haven't tried it, though.

Hi
I'd like users of my wiki (www.chainsofreason.org) to be able to add a particular chunk of wikitext to a page by simply clicking on a button in the edit page toolbar, but have been unable to find a suitable extension. Is there some relatively easy way to achieve this? I don't have any programming knowledge.
