Jim is right .. 

'Changes to LocalSettings.php' shows this

require_once("$IP/extensions/Boilerplateselection/Boilerplateselection.php");
global $wgBoilerPlateAry;
$wgBoilerPlateAry = array('Sandbox' => 'Boilerplate');

Here, anytime the word 'Sandbox' is found in the article it will looke for a template \
called 'Boilerplate' and use that text as the seed.

Here is the one we are currently using .. 

# dsig   12jun07 rights overwritten - user cannot move page
require_once("extensions/boilerplateselection.php");
global $wgBoilerPlateAry;
$wgBoilerPlateAry = array('Technical' => 'TechnicalDesign', 'Scope' => 'Scope');

In this case when it finds the word 'Technical' it will use the template \
TechnicalDesign.  When it finds the word 'Scope' it will use the template 'Scope'.

Hope this clears it up.

Sorry about that.  I will update the document to be more clear.

This is really great. I needed that. Thanks. But it gives me some troubles, maybe \
because i'm not a php guy so i'm sure i'm doing it wrong somewhere.

I have implementet it like described in \
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:BoilerplateSelection and I have made two \
templates in our MediaWiki:

Template:Boilerplate and Template:Serverskabelon (actually in Danish \
Skabelon:Boilerplate and Skabelon:Serverskabelon).

I have then modified the file Localsettings.php like this

$wgBoilerPlateAry = array('Sandbox' => 'Boilerplate', 'Sandbox' => 'Serverskabelon');

Which is probably where the problem is (however, even the content is just \
$wgBoilerPlateAry = array('Sandbox' => 'Serverskabelon'); it still have the content \
of the Template:Boilerplate, probably because this is default).

As I understand it, it is the title of the document that is used to determine the \
template. So I understand this as I will have to make an address like this \
http://MyWiki.Mysite.dk/MyWiki/index.php?title=Serverskabelon_mydocument&action=edit

But still every document I make contains the text from the standard Boilerplate

How exactly do I have to do to make it work, and (if i'm totally off track) how \
exactly do I get to select between the templates (examples is appreciated).

Boilerplate uses 1 *template* to stuff text into every new page

BoilerplateSelection uses the title of the article to determine the
*template* to stuff into the article.

Is there a way to put default text on every page so that every time
someone creates an article, the default text will already be in the
article?

any help appreciated
