Extension:MultiBoilerplate

The MultiBoilerplate extension allows a boilerplate to be selected from a dropdown box located above the edit form. By default this shows only on creation of new pages. When loading a boilerplate, it will completely replace whatever text is already in the edit form. See for more details.

Bugs and feature requests should be added to the extension's project page on Phabricator.
