One correction is needed to make this old plugin work again:

1. in action/findtemplate.php on line 14 in the register function, remove “&” because of this function &-ed by default in all new Dokuwiki builds

Search and install the plugin using the Extension Manager. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.

Create the page templates like you would create them when you use the basic page template functionality.
With this plugin you can also specify a name:

• _yourfilename.txt
• __yourfilename.txt
• ~yourdirectoryname.txt
• ~~yourdirectoryname.txt
• ~_yourdirectoryname.txt
• ~~_yourdirectoryname.txt

Replace yourfilename or yourdirectoryname with a filename or directoryname you are going to use in you dokuwiki.

• The _yourfilename.txt page template will only be used for a file in the current namespace with yourfilename as name.
• The __yourfilename.txt page template will only be used for a file in the current namespace or namespaces below with yourfilename as name.
• The ~yourdirectoryname.txt page template will be used for all files in the yourdirectoryname namespace wich resides just 1 level below the current namespace.
• The ~~yourdirectoryname.txt page template will be used for all files in the yourdirectoryname namespaces below the current namespace.
• The ~_yourdirectoryname.txt page template will be used for the file representing yourdirectoryname wich is just 1 level below the current namespace. In the file structure it will be the start.txt file.
• The ~~_yourdirectoryname.txt page template will be used for the files representing yourdirectoryname for all namespaces below the current namespace.

Attention: root/…/namespace/_template.txt have more priority than even root/__yourfilename.txt so lock _template.txt while generating pages
