I just made an executive decision.
We enabled boilerplates on the freebie wiki today. It took less than two hours for somebody to ask how to use them. I just edited that wiki's MediaWiki:Newarticletext to give quick-and-dirty instructions... and then edited MediaWiki:Newarticletext on ATT to suggest using boilerplates there as well.
If there was a technical reason that MediaWiki:Newarticletext was blank on ATT, go ahead and re-blank the page.
Now for a tricky question: Is there any way to pass the contents of an InputBox (or some other text-entry method) to a DPL list?
We already have DynamicPageList3 installed. If we can use it to let people search for pages with more than one category, we could open up the range of services we offer. ("Want a list of horror anime made in the 1990s? Want a list of rom-coms that aired on Fox? Want to know which books are banned on TV Tropes? We can make those lists for you!")
