-This plugin allows registering template pages, that provide default
-content for new pages created using the web frontend. To register a
-template, insert a [[Preprocessor_Directive|/ikiwiki/preprocessordirective]] on some other page.
-
-	\[[!edittemplate template="bugtemplate" match="bugs/*"]]
-
-In the above example, the page named "bugtemplate" is registered as a
-template to be used when any page named "bugs/*" is created.
-
-Often the template page contains a simple skeleton for a particular type of
-page. For the bug report pages in the above example, it might look
-something like:
-
-	Package: 
-	Version: 
-	Reproducible: y/n
-	Details:
-
-The template page can also contain [[!cpan HTML::Template]] directives,
-similar to other ikiwiki [[templates]]. Currently only one variable is
-set: `<TMPL_VAR name>` is replaced with the name of the page being
-created.

-It's generally not a good idea to put the `edittemplate` directive in
-the template page itself, since the directive would then be included as
-part of the template on new pages, which would then in turn be registered
-as templates. If multiple pages are registered as templates for a new page,
-an arbitrary one is chosen, so that could get confusing.
