Extension:Preloader

The Preloader extension allows the creation of boilerplate text which will be inserted into the edit form when creating new pages. Different boilerplate text can be specified for different namespaces.

In addition, a new parser tag,  is introduced, which is used to denote sections which should not be preloaded, ever; useful for instructions and advice on the boilerplate pages. This tag has no effect during a regular parse operation.

Configuration
Configuration of the boilerplate sources is done via the  configuration variable, which takes the following format:



For instance,



dictates that the boilerplate text for pages in the main namespace should be loaded from, while pages in the Help namespace will be preloaded from. Other namespaces have no boilerplate configured.
