I've finished the roughed in idea for a page template system so that when [create]ing a new page you can have some preset values stored for the options in [editpage]. The idea is that if you make a lot of pages that are all similar (and all similarly different from the page defaults) you can make a template (with say, maybe, comments off, post footer off, green background, serif text, a specific copyright notice, and no search box) and then you have the option in [create] to choose that template when [create]ing a page. This saves you the effort of creating the page, and then having to go into [editpage] and change all these values by hand. Probably it's only worth it if you build mulitple pages with the same style. On the [create] page there is a link to another page where you can build a template. I haven't tested this extensively, but it seems to at least largely work.
