Templates and metadata
Templates
Templates in the sidebar lists the starting points offered when you create a new page in this space, plus any global templates that apply across all spaces. Space templates can be renamed, have their content edited, and be deleted here — global templates are read-only, shown for reference only.
The easiest way to add a template is from a finished draft: use Save as template … in the editor's status bar to turn its current content into a reusable starting point (see writing-a-page).
This space ships one template, Process runbook. The page
example-kernel-update was created from it and
then filled in. Templates may use three placeholders that are filled when
the page is created: {{titel}} (the new page's title), {{autor}} (you)
and {{datum}} (today's date).
Metadata schema
Metadata schema in the sidebar defines which structured extra fields pages in this space carry — for example a process ID, a status, or who released a page. Each field has a type:
| Type | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Text | free text |
| Pattern (regex) | text that must match a pattern |
| Choice (fixed, single) | one value from a fixed list |
| Date | a date |
| Multi-select / tags | several values, or free tags |
| Person | a person |
| Automatic (from Git) | filled in from Git — last author or last change |
Changes to the schema take effect immediately for every page in the space. When a schema is in place, the editor shows a Metadata panel on the draft with a field per schema entry, and flags required fields that are still open.
Page versions
If a space keeps page versions, every release gets a version number and the change note entered at approval time. On a released page, the sidebar shows the current Version and a link to All versions of this page, where you can compare any past version with today's content.
