Main configuration

The main configuration is of the available boilerplates; this is done in one of two ways:

1. through $wgMultiBoilerplateOptions in LocalSettings.php, by filling the $wgMultiBoilerplateOptions array with a list of boilerplate names that correspond to templates, like so:

   $wgMultiBoilerplateOptions[ "My Boilerplate" ] = "Template:My Boilerplate";
   $wgMultiBoilerplateOptions[ "My Other Boilerplate" ] = "Template:My Other Boilerplate";
   

2. Through system message MediaWiki:Multiboilerplate, which uses the following format:

   * My Boilerplate|Template:My Boilerplate
   

   Note: formatting the template entries as a list (i.e. including the leading asterisk) is required when using the MediaWiki:Multiboilerplate page. If this is not done, the entries will not be parsed properly and the templates will not show up. Headers (discussed below) are not required.

   You can also create headers inside the dropdown in order to separate boilerplates, by adding level 2 headers. For example:

   == Pretty Templates ==
   * My Boilerplate|Template:My Boilerplate
   == Ugly Templates ==
   * Their Boilerplate|Template:Their Boilerplate
   

Since version 2.1.1, it is possible to add wikilinks on this page without breaking the extension.

Additional configuration options

• $wgMultiBoilerplateOverwrite: false by default. If true, shows the boilerplates dropdown even on pre-existing pages. The selected boilerplate will completely overwrite the current contents.
