Hello. This is my first post to the list.
I've been looking for a way to pre-populate normal wiki articles with a template (specifically, I want all user-created articles to include the Digg extension, using the <digg /> tag). How would I go about doing that?
I don't want things like special pages and help pages to have the digg code, which is why I'm not just hard-coding it into my custom template.
Thanks in advance for any help.
You could use Boilerplate_Selection which allows you to define physical templates which are used according to the name of the article you are creating. There is also a default template called 'Boilerplate' which is used for all articles which do not have a matching name.
This allows you to create a set of pages to be used over and over

Could you give us a clue on what Boilerplate_Selection is and where to find it.?
