Our new wiki template feature for Wikispaces Private Label lets you create wiki templates that your users can use when they create wikis on your site.

If you are creating e-portfolio wikis for each student, lower the barrier to getting started by giving each student a pre-structured wiki. Or, if you are setting up regional offices on your Private Label site, give each office a wiki pre-populated with all the necessary guidelines and documents.

To set up your wiki template,

1. Edit a wiki that you want to use as the template. Set the theme and permissions for the wiki and add any desired pages, links, or documents.
2. Go to “Site Administration” and then to the “wikis” tab.
3. From there, click “view and create templates.”
4. On this page, you can create a new template from the wiki you setup.

Now, when people create a new wiki on the site, they will have the choice to use your new template as a starting point.

If you are using wiki templates in your school or organization, we’d love to hear how. Feel free to send examples of how they are working for you along with any suggestions or feedback to help@wikispaces.com.
