[Tagging] Creating shop=caravan

[Warin]

Errg .. so much trouble with words :-(

In the example the "car" page is used as a 'prototype', a 'sample', a 
'template' for the new page of "caravan".

You could chose another page to act as your 'prototype'.
I used "basketball" as a 'prototype' for "netball" as they are similar 
sports for example.

The 'editing' is only done for the new page, using your own editor as 
you are probably more familiar with it.

Once saved the new page is just another page.

Sorry if that gets confused with other "templates"..

That help Dave?
