Welcome! Wikis are websites that everyone can build together. It's easy!

Page Templates

How do I manage templates for my site?

Wetpaint sites have several pre-formatted templates to help users add new standardized pages to a site: Monthly Calendar, Weekly Calendar, Schedule, Event Planning, and a Photo Gallery. If you are the site creator or a moderator, you also have the ability to create new Custom Templates for your site. Or, you can choose to unpublish some, or all, of the Standard Templates provided by Wetpaint.

To manage the Standard Templates and Custom Templates for your site, click on "Wiki Settings" in the box above the Page Toolbox on the right and then select the "Templates" tab.

Managing Standard Templates

The Standard Templates provided by Wetpaint are automatically set to be "published" and accessible by all users on your site. If you prefer to make any or all of these templates unavailable to your site members, simply click the status link that says "Make Draft".


Creating New Custom Templates

Creating a Custom Template gives users an easy starting point for adding information to your site. You can create new templates in three ways:
  1. Select "Add a New Custom Template" from the Template Manager in the Wiki Settings (see image above).
  2. An "Add Template" box will pop up. You can name your template and make it a draft.
  3. Click "Add Template" to add your template.
  4. Your Template should now pop up. Click EasyEdit to edit it like you would any other Wetpaint Page.
  5. If you want to save your changes and come back later, you can get to your template by going to Wiki Settings and the Template tab.
  6. When you are ready to add your template to your site, go to the Template in Wiki Settings and on the left-hand side, there is an option to Publish your template. Click Publish.
  7. Now when you add a page, your template will be available to pre-populate your page.

Does anybody know how to delete the template off of the page? I chose to Artist/Band page because I'm working on a school project about an Author and found the template was unnecessary. I want to delete it but I don't know how.
