Usage notes
[edit]TemplateWizard provides a visual dialog that helps editors insert templates in a guided manner. In order to do that, it uses the TemplateData information that can be provided with templates. It does work with templates that do not have TemplateData, but provides a much better experience if TemplateData is used. For this reason, it's a good idea to make sure your templates provide TemplateData. For more information on how to add TemplateData to your templates, please see this guide.
If the Extension:CirrusSearch is installed, then the template search form will display improved search results. Without that extension, template search is done as an exact prefix search on the template title.
