Hey, Kurt,
I'm sorry to see no one picked up your post and responded. I'll give
it a go, but I don't really know a good answer.... maybe if I ask
the right questions it will help :)

I don't understand what you mean by generated by a template.
Are you using a recipe to generate pages by a template? Or are you
using the PmWiki ability to set a new page to have a template within
a group?

You can check in config.php rather than in a wiki page...

perhaps:
(:if equal {$Author} "Name" :)

Is this where you're defining the template you mentioned?
