Standard Layout

2,512

I noticed when reading through a help page that it is possible to define a standard layout so that if someone creates a page he will be asked if he wants to start with the Standard Layout or with a blank page.

Since 85% of our pages are character profiles and have to follow the Standard Format for Character profiles, I thought it might be a good idea to implement the Standard Format for character profiles as Standard Layout for pages (without the explanation of course).

That would not only make creating character profiles more comfortable, but also makes it easier for new users to create pages with proper formatting (which would in turn mean that staff members have to clean up such pages less often).

Problem is I myself do not know how one would do such a thing and because of that I also don't know if it wouldn't require some immense amount of work.

So the question is whether we even want to do it and if we want to if someone actually knows how and has interest in investing the necessary amount of work into doing so.
 
I would also appreciate if somebody knowledgeable would be willing to help out with this.
 
@MightyRegulator: I believe so, yes. He's the first one i would think up when it comes to this.
 
I'm not knowledgeable on it but it'd likely be a good idea.
 
Lord Kavpeny did not respond when I sent a PM to him about this, but maybe KamiYasha or A6colute could do it?
 
I'm seeing how to do it, but looks like you need to know about templates.

Unfortunately i don't know how to this.
 
Thanks. Can you provide a link to how it looks?
 
Never mind. I checked it out by starting to create a test page, and it looks fine.

The only small problem is that it now gives an error message in Russian.

This problem solved?
 
No. Sorry. It still remains. It isn't a big problem though.
