We did this using the input box. We have different types of pages that use different templates and I just created a page that says create a new page here. The user types in the name of the page that they want to create and clicks create and the page is loaded with the template.
<inputbox> type=create bgcolor=#dddddd labeltext=Create a New Strain Page editintro=Mediawiki: buttonlabel=Create preload=Template:Strain width=35 break=no </inputbox>

I have been looking through mediawiki.org but didn't find the info on my question.
I would love to have the wiki (by extention if necessary) open up new edit windows and be populated by certain format criteria that it would be nice if the users followed.
Such as a title field, maybe a contents block, and some information. Then they can write whatever they want. This kinda makes it easier to read. And some users are not so web savy that they will do this naturally.
Does something like this exist? Maybe a template? thanks. Cynthia
