Subject: [Mediawiki-l] Automatic template
> Dear list :)
>
>
> On one of my wikis, every single bit of data submitted from the users
> must be formatted the same way. It's like, for instance, people
> submitting their business cards. Each much have a name, an address, a
> telephone number.
>
> Therefore, to make the whole wiki consistent, i made a template that
> formats all this data into a pretty page. Each content page then just
> have to call the template like:
>
> {{bizcard|
> |name=John Doe
> |Numer=555-1212
> }}
>
> This is all good and dandy, except I have no way to enforce that. When
> users create new pages, they get a blank sheet and forget all about the
> templates. Or they might think about the template, but forget half the
> required fields.
>
> So my question, in all its glory to this list is, is there a way to at
> the very least pre-laod content into the "create new page" page so that
> a blank template could be already in the face of the user, all that
> he/she would need to do is to fill the blanks?
>
