## Wiki Page Templates

The default content for a new wiki page can be chosen from a list of page templates.

The list is generated from all the wiki pages having a name starting with *PageTemplates/*.
The initial content of a new page will simply be the content of the chosen template page, or a blank page if the special *(blank page)* entry is selected. When there are no wiki pages with the *PageTemplates/* prefix, the initial content will always be the blank page and the template list selector will not be shown.

To create a new template, simply create a new page having a name starting with *PageTemplates/*.

Hint: one could even create a *PageTemplates/Template* for facilitating the creation of new templates\!

After the first template has been created, a drop-down selection box will automatically appear on any new wiki page that is created. By default it is located on the right side of the *Create this page* button. The default selection will be *blank page*, or *DefaultPage* if *PageTemplates/DefaultPage* exists.

The following templates are available on this site:

- [CompileProject](/briareus/notes/CompileProject/)
- [ProgrammingWithStreams](/briareus/notes/ProgrammingWithStreams/)
- [WikiDeletePage](/briareus/notes/WikiDeletePage/)
- [WikiFormatting](/briareus/notes/WikiFormatting/)
- [WikiPageNames](/briareus/notes/WikiPageNames/)
- [WikiRestructuredTextLinks](/briareus/notes/WikiRestructuredTextLinks/)
- [WikiStart](/briareus/notes/WikiStart/)
