Help on Templates

Templates can make it very easy for you users to add new pages. Instead of adding each bit of information by themselves templates have some text and structure filled on. variable substitution can be used to insert date, time, creator, pagename or other variables. (see HelpOnPageCreation for more)

A template page must be named with an ending fitting the standard template name ending (which defaults to "Template"). The administrator can change the default tmeplate name ending by setting "page_template_regex" in the configuration files. The new template page will be added to the list of template pages displayed when you try to show a non-existent page. For example, NonExistentHelpPage has a link to HelpTemplate that loads the content of HelpTemplate into the editor box, when you click on that link.
