Apologies if I am being thick (it has been a long day) but I believe the main page for this wonderful looking Extension needs to have a section entitled "How to populate the drop-down list". That ought to have something that looks like this:

  1. go here
  2. do this
  3. then this
  4. then you list will be populated
  5. go to your actual wiki page & click edit & then use your new toolbar to insert whatever you choose from the drop-down list.


Please.

Than you.

Again, tremendous Extension. Just what we have been looking for.

Thanks, Jason

Simply create pages using the <boilerplate></boilerplate> tags in the boilerplate namespace. The list auto populates.

I agree with Jason - it's a useful extension but a little more help would make it more usable. Not everyone will be familiar with MediaWiki jargon, so something as simple as saying 'the boilerplate namespace means any page that starts with "boilerplate:"; you can easily create a new page by searching ...' and linking to a simple definition of namespaces for those who need more information.

More to the point, does boilerplate work with the enhanced editing bar?

Please edit the extension page yourself if you can think of better descriptions! :-)
