Features

BlueSpicePageTemplates allows users to create new pages from predefined templates to start with a basic page structure.

• Create a template (with headers, categories, boxes and other content) in the template namespace.
• Create a page template using the special page Special_PageTemplatesAdmin give the page template a name and a description.
• Each template should be assigned a template from the "Template" namespace that represents the structure of a document.
• Page templates can be assigned to a particular namespace, so that a certain template will only appear when creating pages in that namespace.
• The page template is shown as a choice when a new page is created.

Some aspects of this extension can be configured on the page Special:BlueSpiceConfigManager, under "Page templates". Here, wiki administrators can:

• Force a target namespace for the page that was created from the template
• Hide default templates
