+> This is a feature I miss a lot from MoinMoin, and is especially helpful when you maintain pages which have a regular format (eg. recipe pages).  I understand that using svn would bypass this feature but I think it's worth considering anyway because:

+> * It's remote and casual users who benefit most from having standard templates to use for new pages
+> * When using svn to make changes it's easier to manually provide template functionality (eg. cp recipe_template.mdwn newpage.mdwn)
