Description

Need:
Make end user easier to create consistent wiki pages with template page with variables.
Current clone feature of Edit does not support variables in template page.

Here is patch to add optional variable expansion to clone feature.

After you add expand=true to Edit.jsp url, variables in template file is expanded. The syntax is {$variablename}.
You can use default JSPWiki variables like {$pagename} or you can add your own extra variable appending new ones to url.

Example:
Edit.jsp with variables expanded in new clone page:
Edit.jsp?page=Notes%20Db%20View%20times&clone=DefaultNote&expand=true&backpage=Db%20View%20times

Utilization in existing page:
[

{InsertPage page='Notes Db View times'}

,default=
'Auto-generated page. Add description and comments to page <a href="Edit.jsp?page=Notes Db View times&clone=DefaultNote&expand=true&backpage=Db View times"\>Notes Db View times</a>'}]

Content of page file Defaultnote.txt:
![{$backpage}]
[Edit:{$pagename}]
