In case we don't like a particular Template, then the best strategy is to have individual votes for them.
@Anca, from your feedback is hard to know if you prefer Article over Encyclopedia. Since we need to release 8.2 final at the end of the week I would like to advance with this topic: either by committing all the proposed templates or just a subset, but I need more opinions. Status: 1. Article (Article page): +1 Vincent, +1 Caty 2. Encyclopedia (Encyclopedia page): +1 Vincent, +1 Caty 3. Meeting Report (Agenda and notes): 1+ Vincent, +1 Caty, +1 Anca 4. Simple Page (With table of content): +1 Vincent, +1 Caty, +1 Anca Thanks, Caty On Mon, Jul 11, 2016 at 4:30 PM, Anca Luca <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, Jul 11, 2016 at 2:00 PM, Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) < > [email protected]> wrote: > > > On Mon, Jul 11, 2016 at 2:54 PM, Anca Luca <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > > Hello Caty, > > > > > > > > > > > > On Thu, Jul 7, 2016 at 4:12 PM, Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) < > > > [email protected] > > > > wrote: > > > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > > > By default there are not many page templates an user could see. > > > > In order for users to understand the power and purpose of XWiki, it > > would > > > > be helpful to add more content templates by default. > > > > > > > > Content Templates are templates that don't belong to a particular > > > > application, but provides an initial content structure.
