It's been suggested to call an [[intermediate page]] a '''template''' but this is not the terminology [[Metaweb]] uses, and it's a highly overloaded term, so it's not a great idea. Let's emphasis the "moving from medium to medium" aspect of these pages, not their initial cookie-cutter use to generate empty pages. In general you want to copy [[good example]]s as a [[prototype]] to get keep [[best practices]] evolving not create empty pages from a template that may in fact not yet reflect those practices. So for instance the so-called template is really a series of statements that say "write a list of [[comprehensive outcome]]s as good as the one for [[KitKat McFlurry]]", etc., always referring to the most extensively researched and succinct pages as a model. | It's been suggested to call an [[intermediate page]] a '''template''' but this is not the terminology [[Metaweb]] uses, and it's a highly overloaded term, so it's not a great idea.
