Okay. I'll change mine to "template" then. I'd still prefer 
"initial_content_page" because I think there may be confusion, but 
you've done more work on Phpwiki.

~ quoting for plugin arguments helps the initial_content CreatePage 
argument work correct. That is enough for me, thanks.

However, I still do not understand how substitution happens if you give 
a template argument to CreatePage. The code in there now does no 
substitution in the template text.

Whoa. Okay, I did not yet understand how you wanted this delivered. I'll 
now assume you want patch files, and I'll try to make them. In 
particular, I don't quite understand how to make a patch file if I have 
a file that's been modified with things you want (e.g., RateThisPage) 
AND things you don't want. I'll do my best. See my "pseudo-patch" files 
below.

I attach two pseudo-patches to create a Cached_UserLink object that 
seems to solve this issue for me. Two caveats:

1) I have not tested it extensively.
2) I created the patch files by diff -bu, then manually cutting out 
pieces of those diffs that don't pertain. This might result in patch 
files that are not quite right. Hopefully they convey the idea.
