[Mediawiki-l] Template for All New Pages

[Gwen]

We did this using the input box. We have different types of pages that use
different templates and I just created a page that says create a new page
here. The user types in the name of the page that they want to create and
clicks create and the page is loaded with the template.

<inputbox>
type=create
bgcolor=#dddddd
labeltext=Create a New Strain Page
editintro=Mediawiki:
buttonlabel=Create
preload=Template:Strain
width=35
break=no
</inputbox>
