Description:
This patch enables support for the use of Templates for New
Articles.
It does check if it is a New Article (and not a preview) and
can be enabled/disabled in LocalSettings.php.

This is a diff from my local CVS wiki (original version) to
the installed one.

$articletemplate = '';
/* Checking if its a new article and it is not a

preview */

if(!$this->mTitle->getArticleID() && $formtype !

'preview'){ # new article

/*
 * Yes, it is a new article.
 * Checking if should get data from template and if

template file exists

global $wgArticleTemplateFile;

$articletemplate = implode('', file

diff -r1.2 LocalSettings.php

$wgUseArticleTemplate = true;
$wgArticleTemplateFile = 'templates/templatetoedit.txt';

Above are the entries used in LocalSettings.php.
$wgUseArticleTemplate is a boolean (true/false) which
enables/disables the support for Article Templates usage.
$wgArticleTemplateFile is the file which will be automaticly
loaded in New Article's textarea edition space.

I hope this helps somebody. :)
