Hi, There is a much better feature: Edit templates. Look here:

http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/EditTemplates


You can also create a form like this

(:input form $ScriptUrl:)
(:input hidden action edit:)
(:input hidden template MyTemplateGroup.MyTemplate:)
Enter new page title:
(:input text pagename size=32:)
(:input submit create "Create!":)
(:input end:)

This will present a textbox to the user; he fills the new page title and then, 
he sees a new page where the textarea is not empty but filled with the 
content of the page MyTemplateGroup.MyTemplate.


Cheers,

Petko
