Dear all,
Can anyone tell me a way to ensure that a template is included in all pages of a particular namespace? I'd like to use our mediawiki to allow people to annotate some things in a biology project and want to use a template to guide what information should be given, and the wiki URLs will be generated automatically by an external program. I could generate the pages in advance from a perl script or similar but I thought there might be a better way, especially since I won't always know in advance what the page names should be.
Have you tried the preloader extension? It lets you specify a template to be automatically included per namespace. I have found it to be invaluable...
