We're planning to do something like this in the future by default, but
not very soon.
A way to implement this now is to:
- create the templates as wiki documents
- create a redirector page that accepts two URL parameters, document
name and template name, and does a redirect with:
$response.sendRedirect($xwiki.getURL($request.documentName, 'edit',
"template=${request.templateName}"))
- create a panel with a text input field for the document name and a
select (drop down) list for choosing from the templates, which submits
these fields to the redirector page from above
The above redirect works like this:
- 'edit' will display the document in edit mode (works well for
unstructured wiki documents); you can use 'inline' for structured
(form-based) documents.
- the "template=" parameter instructs the wiki to use another document
as a template for the edited document.
