Hi Luis, if you send editors to a url like
"action=edit&preload=OutlineTemplate&title=NewPage&editintro=EditGuide"
They will see the wikitext contents of OutlineTemplate when they start to edit
(with EditGuide rendered above the textearea).
You can see this in action here:

Hi, all-
Is there a way to make new pages open with specific content? Basically,
I'd like new pages on a wiki (perhaps only with a specific namespace,
but that's not a requirement) to open with a specific outline/section
format- something like:
=foo=
Please fill in these sections as appropriate.
=bar=
==baz==
==gee==
=lart=
etc.- basically to encourage (but not require) that newbie users follow
a specific format when creating a new page. Is there any way to do this
in mediawiki, short of hardcoding it somewhere?
Luis
