Doesn't this clash with the existing create.vm?

Some quick remarks:

- Shouldn't the template list be in a select box, to be able to display 
many possible templates? Or we assume that a normal wiki should have at 
most 10 templates, and the user can change the display if he needs to? 
Or, should we automatically switch from radio list to drop down select 
when the number of templates goes beyond an acceptable number?

- Should the list of accepted spaces be a livetable instead?

- Does the modal dialog really need the highlight background? I'd rather 
have it simple, without the extra background.
