Hello,
+ 1 for all
The difference between Article and Encyclopedia could be increased by
adding other specific elements on each one's layout.
Thanks,
Alex

@Anca, from your feedback is hard to know if you prefer Article over
Encyclopedia.
Since we need to release 8.2 final at the end of the week I would like to
advance with this topic: either by committing all the proposed templates or
just a subset, but I need more opinions.
Status:
1. Article (Article page): +1 Vincent, +1 Caty
2. Encyclopedia (Encyclopedia page): +1 Vincent, +1 Caty
3. Meeting Report (Agenda and notes): 1+ Vincent, +1 Caty, +1 Anca
4. Simple Page (With table of content): +1 Vincent, +1 Caty, +1 Anca
Thanks,
Caty

The differences are in layout.
In my opinion this is not enough to have both of them. For me, the goal
of
the templates by default is to help discover the
template feature and its
benefits to users, and the way to do that would be to show interesting
usecases of the template feature. Having two templates for the same
usecase
but with different layout is not aligned with
this goal, but would be
more
aligned with the goal of showing that we can do
different fancy layouts.
In
addition, this logic would allow to have multiple
templates for the other
usecases as well, with different layout, which would not be a good idea
(e.g. another meeting report, with a different layout) because would
bloat
the list...
Anyone else?

The difference is viewed in the Description, see
