[Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki-l Digest, Vol 39, Issue 53

Thu Dec 28 16:27:56 UTC 2006

Default Templates:
i would each page that is newly created (let's say by
searching a nonexistant page and then clicking "create
page") will have a certain look.
i'm aware of the templates feature, but i only know
how to add it to a page after it's created.
is there a way to say a default look for a newly
created page?
