-The `edittemplate` directive is supplied by the [[!iki plugins/edittemplate desc=edittemplate]] plugin.
-
-This directive allows registering template pages, that provide default
-content for new pages created using the web frontend. To register a
-template, insert an [[ikiwiki/directive/edittemplate]] directive on some other
-page.
-
- \[[!edittemplate template="bugtemplate" match="bugs/*"]]
-
-A recommended place to put the directive is on the parent page
-of the pages that will be created using the template. So the above
-example would be put on the bugs page. (Do not put the directive on the
-template page itself.)
-
-In the above example, the page named "bugtemplate" is registered as a
-template to be used when any page named "bugs/*" is created. To avoid
-the directive displaying a note about the template being registered, add
-"silent=yes".
-
-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,
-like other ikiwiki [[templates]].
-
-These variables might be set:
-
-* `<TMPL_VAR name>` is replaced with the name of the page being
- created.
-
-* `<TMPL_VAR uuid>` is replaced with a version 4 (random) UUID
- suitable for use in `\[[!meta guid="urn:uuid:<TMPL_VAR uuid>"]]`.
- (Requires the `UUID::Tiny` Perl module if not running on Linux.)
-
-* `<TMPL_VAR time>` is replaced with the current (template generation)
- time using a fixed format (RFC 3339, `%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ`),
- suitable for use in `\[[!meta date="<TMPL_VAR time>"]]`
- (see [[meta]]) or `\[[!date "<TMPL_VAR time>"]]` (see [[date]]).
