In case we don't like a particular Template, then the best strategy is to have individual votes for them. @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 On Mon, Jul 11, 2016 at 4:30 PM, Anca Luca <[email protected]> wrote:

Hi,
By default there are not many page templates an user could see. In order for users to understand the power and purpose of XWiki, it would be helpful to add more content templates by default.
Content Templates are templates that don't belong to a particular application, but provides an initial content structure. The templates will be suggested in the creation step.
Here are some templates we could add by default:
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/TemplatesDefault#HProposal
1. Article 2. Encyclopedia
I think these two are the same one, they should be collapsed into only one template. I don't really understand the differences between these two.
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?
Thanks, Anca
3. Meeting
Should be called Meeting Report (or meeting notes), so that the
difference
with the meeting extension is more obvious.
I will use "Meeting Report"
4. Simple Page
Should have the word Table of Contents in the name, so that its purpose
is
obvious from the start (otherwise "simple page" and the default "blank page" are not very easy to differentiate ).
The difference is viewed in the Description, see
http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/TemplatesDefault/WebHome...
Thanks, Caty
Another template could be added, "Index page", with a simple livetable listing all the children (and descendants) pages of the current page. It's handy when creating the root page of a subtree on the wiki (would have the same purpose as "Dashboard", to be a scripted homepage from where the subtree of that page can be accessed).
Thanks, Anca
You can test them on http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/TemplatesDefault/
(use
the
Create button)
Please vote if you agree these templates should be added by default or otherwise let me know your feedback.
Thanks, Caty _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
