[Mediawiki-l] automatic template

[Jim Hu]

I believe "Sandbox" is just an example of a search key.  I think you  
need different values for the key.

$wgBoilerPlateAry = array(
	'Sandbox' => 'Boilerplate',	# looks for Sandbox in the page title
  	'Sandbox' => 'Serverskabelon' # looks for Sandbox in the page  
title, never executes because the first line sees Sandbox first
	);

All page names that don't contain 'Sandbox' fall through and use  
'Boilerplate', so you can't tell the difference between "Sandbox" and  
anything else.  What you want is something like

$wgBoilerPlateAry = array(
	'key1' => 'boilerplate template 1',	# looks for key1 in the page title
  	'key2' => 'boilerplate template 2' 	# looks for key2 in the page  
title, different from key1
	);

Hope this helps  (I actually use PagesOnDemand for this so I'm just  
inferring the behavior from the code).
