+1 to this. Much like duplicating an issue, duplicating a wiki template (with retention of the parent!) would be a fantastic help.

We could use this for our pain points (user stories), and the individuals who design these are not usually technically adept enough to build link to another wiki page much-less the steps required edit the template, copy the contents, return to the pain points page, create a link to a new pain point, click the link to edit the new pain point, and paste the template contents.

If it were possible to duplicate the template (and inherit the same parent), I could direct users to duplicate the template, give it a new name, and simply use child_pages to generate my list of known pain points.

What if the templates have files and pictures attached? Should the copies share same files (these in the templates) or they have to be duplicated too?

The include won't be exactly what people need as that means any changes to that affect changes to anything the include is in, which is sometimes opposite of what people need.

Simplest case:
I have an example template that I want everyone to use that says -

• Requirements
• Deployment
• QA Checklist

• Requirements
• Deployment

• Requirements
• Deployment
• QA Checklist

I would like them to just copy this template without having to go into the code, cut and paste into the new project, since version numbers may vary from project to project (which means that an include wouldn't work). A copy from project:wikipage would be nice here.

includes have their use case, but this is a different use case. Project managers run into this often with word documents being slightly modified from project to project.

In some way it is like the Duplicate function on an issue, except you can specify the target project wiki (come to think of it, duplicate on an issue and specifying a target project would be nice as well).

Additional option for copying with child pages would be also nice...

we use wiki for educational courses which differs just in some details, so this feature would save much time, so +1

+1 for this feature: duplicate a wiki page and its children pages

+1 for reuse a wiki page with attachments

+1 - we use wiki pages for meeting minutes and a copy function of a predefined template would be awesome!

+1 would be very useful

+1 short up for this feature :D

The #note-17 patch was tried and worked fine.

Thanks for testing my patch and sharing your feedback!. Your support is invaluable!

I attach the patch that allows for optional copying of child pages. When the "Copy child pages" option is selected, the copied child page title will automatically be appended with a suffix like "_1".

Looks great! +1
