Hi,
I have created a custom namespace and create certain pages in this namespace automatically. I want to know how to create a button on every page created within this namespace at the time the page is created. On clicking this button the user will be directed to a special page associated with some function.
Thanks, Amruta

You can include a template on those pages. The template holds an extension which prints an image/text link. Then you only have to update the template in one place to change the image/text.

I need some help in creating this template. If i am understanding it correctly I have to create a template page only once. At what point should i create this template page then. Shold i use the same code that i am using for creating a page below for creating the required template page and just check evrey time my extension is run if the template page exists in the page table and if not then only create the template page? I want to do it through the code so that i can package it with my eetension and tus this page will not have to be created manually on evrey single wiki that i would like to use this extension.
Thanks, Amruta
