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

Well, I was actually under the impression that page was documenting the Boilerplate extension I wrote, which is available in Subversion...

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>

If you are going to use only 1 template for all new articles then Boilerplate should work for you. If you have multiple templates, I have implemented an extension BoilerplateSelection which uses the title of the article to determine which template to use.

Will the extension BoilerplateSelection only work in 1.9.3 and 1.10? ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Sigafoos To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Sent: Friday, July 27, 2007 7:26 PM Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Template for All New Pages

Those are the only ones I have tried it on.
Since Boilerplate (which BoilerplateSelection is based on) works on 1.6.8 I would assume <g> that it should work back to that.
Let me know if you have problems
