Installation

The extension tested on MediaWiki 1.36+. Probably it will work on 1.32+ (the used hooks are quite old and the newest part of it is OOUI which is still relatively old).

Download and place the file(s) in a directory called NewPageTemplateSelector in your extensions/ folder.
Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
```
wfLoadExtension( 'NewPageTemplateSelector' );
```
Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Usage

Put something like that on your page:

 <NewPageTemplateSelector 
    templates="Empty article, Template:Template name 1, Template:Template name 2" 
    placeholder="Please enter page name"
/>

And save the page. You will see something like this:
