+Dokuwiki supports scaffolding. Sometimes you might want to have every page in a certain namespace based on a common skeleton. For example, in the ''address'' namespace you could have an already prepared table, which only needs to be filled with data. This can be easily achieved with so called "namespace templates".
 When a page is created, [[DokuWiki]] looks up whether a template file exists and it shows it within the editor window. The templates therefore are .txt files and should contain wiki markup.
 ===== Template files =====
 Two kinds of template files can be used:

 ^ @MAIL@   | mail address of user who is creating the page                                          |
 ^ @DATE@   | date and time when edit session started                                                |
-^ %a %d-%m-%y etc. | e.g. Thu 06-12-12. [[phpfn>Strftime]] placeholders are replaced by page creation time |
+^ %a %d-%m-%y etc. | e.g. Thu 06-12-12. [[phpfn>strftime]] placeholders are replaced by page creation time |
 ^ %%       | a literal ''%'' character appears in your template                                     |
-In addition you may also use any [[phpfn>strftime]] placeholder to insert the time of page creation in any format you like. If you want to use a literal ''%'' character in your template you need to double it.
 ===== Still editing templates via wiki=====
 You can't edit the ''_template.txt'' through DokuWiki (only someone who can edit the files inside the filesystem folders (usually an administrator using FTP or WebDAV) can modify these files). There are three ways to accomplish this, though:
-  * the easiest is using the [[plugin:TemplatePagename]] plugin which let you change the default templatename ''_template'' into another name e.g. ''template'' that is allowed as normal editable wikipage.
+  * the easiest is using the [[plugin:TemplatePagename]] plugin which let you change the default templatenames ''<nowiki>_template</nowiki>'' and ''<nowiki>__template</nowiki>'' into another name. E.g. ''c_template'' and ''i_template''. These files are considered normal editable wikipages because they don't start with an underscore.

 Additional template features are implemented by plugins.
