Download and Installation [edit]
Step 1: Copy-paste this code into a file boilerplate.php and place it in extensions directory.
<?php $wgHooks['EditPage::showEditForm:initial'][] = array('boilerplate'); $wgExtensionCredits['other'][] = array( 'name' => 'Boilerplate', 'author' => '[http://rouslan.zenetl.com/ RouslanZenetl]', 'version' => '0.0.3', 'description' => 'Loads pre-defined text from [[MediaWiki:Boilerplate]] when a brand new page is created', 'url' => 'https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Boilerplate' ); function boilerplate($editpage) { // EditFormPreloadText global $wgOut; $wgOut->enableClientCache(false); if (!$editpage->preview && !$editpage->mArticle->mContentLoaded && $editpage->mArticle->mTitle->mNamespace==0) { $boilerplate_title = Title::newFromText('boilerplate'); $boilerplate_article = new Article($boilerplate_title); $editpage->textbox1=$boilerplate_article->GetContent(); $editpage->textbox2=$editpage->textbox1; } return true; }
Step 2: Add the following line to LocalSettings.php:
require_once("$IP/extensions/boilerplate.php");
Step 3: Create a page named Boilerplate on your MediaWiki site. Whatever is included in this Boilerplate page will serve as the default template for any new pages created on your site.
Thats it!

- Extension:Preloader provides per-namespace preload text
- Extension:PreloadManager provides per-namespace preload text
- Extension:HeaderFooter provides per-namespace header/footer text
- Extension:NewArticleTemplates provides per-namespace preload text
perhaps Extension:Preloader, Extension:PreloadManager, Extension:NewArticleTemplates and Boilerplate should be merged?
