Is it worth having different templates for different sorts of articles? Is it worth having a wizard? "Is this an article about a person, place, event...?" "So it's a person. Are they alive or dead?" "Great, what field are they most known in?" "Sport, eh? American, British, Jamaican?" Take that far enough and it could spit out half the article, with relevant templates, categories, stubs and pointers for you to read the guidelines for that type of project.
Is this the road we want to go down?

Well, just to get the ball rolling, I created a possible version at [[Wikipedia:New article template]] (or should it have been on meta?). We're you thinking of something along those lines?
