+Page templates can be used to automate or simplify the creation of pages based on a template.
 
-![[^Library/Std/Infrastructure/Page Templates]]
+# Creating a page template
+To create a page template, create a page and tag it with `#meta/template/page`.
+
+The last component of the page name will be used as the template name.
+
+## Cursor placement
+In the template’s body text, you can optionally use `|^|` as a placeholder for where the cursor should be after creating the page.
+
+## Configuration
+Optional keys you can set in the page’s frontmatter:
+
+* `suggestedName`: the proposed name for the new page, can use embedded Lua expressions, like `Daily/${date.today()}`.
+* `confirmName`: Confirm the suggested page name before creating it (defaults to `true`).
+* `openIfExists`: If a page with the `suggestedName` already exists, open it rather than attempting to create it anew.
+* `command`: expose the page template as a command with this name.
+* `key`: Bind the snippet to a keyboard shortcut (note: this requires to _also_ specify the `command` configuration).
+* `mac`: Bind the snippet to a Mac-specific keyboard shortcut.
+* `frontmatter`: Frontmatter (encoded as a string) to set in the resulting page.
+* `priority`: Similar to how space lua scripts are loaded, this controls the order in which page template _commands_ are
+  created (see "overriding page templates" below)
+
+## Example: Daily note
+The following creates a page template that can be run using the `Journal: Daily Note` command, it automatically creates `Daily/today’s date` if it does not already exist with a bulleted list, putting the cursor at the first bullet. If the page already exists, it navigates there.
+
+~~~
+---
+command: "Journal: Daily Note"
+suggestedName: "Daily/${date.today()}"
+confirmName: false
+openIfExists: true
+tags: meta/template/page
+---
+* |^|
+~~~
+
+# Currently active page templates
+
+${template.each(query[[
+  from index.tag "meta/template/page"
+  where _.tag == "page"
+]], templates.fullPageItem)}
+
+# Instantiating page templates
+
+You can create a page based on a page template via the ${widgets.commandButton("Page: From Template")} command, or via the command name that you defined in your template’s frontmatter.
+
+# Overriding page templates
+
+If you would like to override an existing page template (for instance the Quick Note) template with your own, you can take advantage of the load order determined by the `priority` frontmatter. Built in page templates will have a priority set that is higher than the default. Therefore, their commands and keybindings will be set early. Therefore, by simply defining your own version of the page template _with the same command name_ will let that version override the versions that are built in.
+
+## Example: overriding the Quick Note template
+
+~~~
+---
+command: Quick Note
+key: "Ctrl-q q"
+suggestedName: "Quick notes/${os.date('%Y-%m-%d/%H-%M-%S')}"
+confirmName: false
+tags: meta/template/page
+---
+This is my quick note version
