[Mediawiki-l] Creating a new page with standard headings by default

I am using Mediawiki on Debian Lenny.
 
By default, creating a new page starts with blank i.e. no wikitext. Users needs to put headings, text etc.
 
I need to include following standard headers by default every time a new page is created. Here is the wikitext:
*************************
==Basic Description==
 
==Explain==
 
==See also==
 
==References==
 
==External links==
*************************
 
What is the best way to do this? I have already created a template for the above page [[Template:MyTemplate]] and it seems that I can use it on a new black page with the following syntax {{Template:MyTemplate}}. However I would like to go one step further in the sense that whenever a user creates a new page, it will automatically populate from the template.
