Recently I tested extension MultiBoilerplate:
  http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MultiBoilerplate
on my local MediaWiki installation.

The extension is meant to provide few templates when creating article.
Author can choose one that best suits the topic. 

Extension by default will not overwrite existing article, but it can be 
instructed to do so. I can imagine some niche cases where this can be useful, 
but on our wiki in majority of cases this is not wanted, so we can keep the 
default, not to overwrite. 

There is no examples on our wiki as I wait for our admins to enable use of 
  http://wiki.opensuse.org/MediaWiki:Multiboilerplate 
page where we can define pages that will be used as templates. 

This extension should work fine with InputBox related ability to create new 
pages, at least it did with few tests I performed with a same templates as  
you can find on http://wiki.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Sandbox , so we can use both 
methods. 

Page with InputBox and minimal help on that page, for people editing wiki for 
the first time, and same templates in MultiBoilerplate for experienced editors 
that know what they want.
