Please follow the instructions at Manual:Errors_and_symptoms#You_see_a_Blank_Page so we can get more debugging information. Specifically, add the following lines to the LocalSettings.php file, underneath the <?php:

error_reporting( E_ALL );
ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );

Thanks.

I changed the value of cat (Did you know?) to be the category I want to use. I saved the template and this was the resulting error message:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getText() on a non-object in C:\webapps\mtsitwiki\extensions\BedellPenDragon\BedellPenDragon.php on line 294

Go ahead and upgrade to the latest version and give it another try. The changes may or may not fix your problem; if not, keep coming back; we'll get it eventually. I would say, "Switch over to Semantic MediaWiki" but I don't think it has the capability you're looking for.

Fixed

I ran into the same problem today and fixed it. That error was cropping up whenever the template page mentioned in the template parameter (template="foo") was nonexistent.
