At Yellowikis we've added our own button to the "edit bar" (next to
the buttons for bold, italic, links, image, etc) that inserts a
preformatted "template" text of headers and advice - you can add as
many buttons as you want to the edit bar.
You do this by changing the "toolarray" elements of the EditPage file
which you find in the Includes directory - let me know if you want to
know more about how to do this.

This is a question of a different nature about
"forms" and "templates" I
could not find it in the FAQ, so I must be looking for the wrong sort of
answer.
What I want to do is create a non-transclusive template. The MW "template"
concept is a transclusion, so that won't fit my requirement. I am looking
to create a type of article template with certain pre-defined headers and
sub-headers that authors can choose for convenience. To resort to an
analogy that is often abused in computing, let's call it a "car form."
Users can invoke a form with headings like "style", "history",
"specifications", "safety", and appropriate sub-headings. Having
invoked
the form to create a new article, they are completely free to customize in
whatever manner they believe suits the needs of the article.
What is this entity in MediaWiki and how do I go about employing it?
Thanks,
Carlton
