+Below is a [[patch]] to [[plugins/edittemplate]] that does a few things:
+
+ * It defaults the type of the file to be created to the same type as the template.
+ * It adds a 'silent' parameter to the directive that stops it from printing out what what registered.
+ * It makes the description of what was registered link to the template page (which gives feedback for typos or allows template creation)
+ * It adds a colon to the standard string correcting the syntax.
