I had something much simpler in mind. The author of a template could
define some template variables (using a ${foo} syntax) and from those
variables a set of inputs would be displayed for a user to fill out
when they first create a page from that template.
Some additional syntax could go in to specify field types, and to mark
a field as required. I wouldn't want to go crazy with it though.
Nothing so complicated that it would have to involve the ticket
system.
This is something I've kind of had in mind for a while. For example,
we make wiki pages for meetings, and our Meeting template already has
what are essentially template variables for <Date>, <Time>,
<Location>, <Participants>, etc... This plugin would make it easier
to find those fields and make sure they get filled out.
