The [[ikiwiki/directive/inline]] directive allows the creation of new pages.
It would be nice if it was possible to specify default text for the new post.
For example:
\[[!inline pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion" postform="yes" newposttemplate="blogtemplate.mdwn"]]
This would allow you to create a new blog post. When you hit the `Edit` button, the system presents
you with an edit form as normal, but rather than being empty, it has the text from `blogtemplate.mdwn`.
Inline below is a [[patch]] that implements this:

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something, but can't you use already existing
in-house means instead of this patch; use a procedure as I do in the Hurd wiki?
<http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/config_edittemplate/> with one template:
<http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/config_edittemplate/regular_page/>.
