This is what I do .. it works and leaves the original page alone...
1) get the "car" template
On the page you want to copy Click on "edit Source" - Copy all of it and
paste it over to your your word processor as a new document.
Exit out out this "Edit Source" without saving "cancel" I think is it
- so it stays the same.
2) edit the template
Now in your word processor find and replace all the "car" and replace
with "caravan". Perform similar edits here - much easier than the editor
you may not be familiar with on the wiki.
When your finished here ...
3) create the new page
Type the title of the page you want to create in the wiki search box ...
It will come up with a suggestion to create the page you want .. click
on that and you have started to create the new page :)
Copy all of the stuff you have on your word processor page over to the
new page (copy and paste) .. and save it ... Done.

Haha, Graeme. I am in the same boat when it comes to adding anything
to the Wiki. Welcome to the arcane world of Wiki editing. I don't have
an answer to your question. I only want to sympathize.

& yards dedicated to caravan sales? I can find shop=car
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop=car, which says
it's a place that sells cars, buses or trucks. Perhaps
shop=caravan?
Shop=caravan has over 100 uses, so why not?
With fear & trepidation :-) I am about to try & create a page
shop=caravan, then put it up for further discussion.
I know this has been discussed before, but I'm still unclear on
the details (& from previous discussions, a lot of other people
are as well :-()
The page would be fairly similar to shop=car
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:shop%3Dcar, so that sounds
like a good basis to start with.
If I just open that page, "Edit source", change value=car to
value=caravan, then save that, I'm fairly sure that will create a
shop=caravan page ready for further editing, but will the original
shop=car page still exist?
Is there a better way to create a new page?
