With the current Template manager dialog and the changes in the menus for templates, many help pages are outdated and obsolete. Some of the files to review are text/shared/guide/aaa_start.xhp text/shared/guide/standard_template.xhp text/shared/01/01110000.xhp text/shared/01/01110300.xhp text/shared/01/01110400.xhp text/shared/01/01020000.xhp text/swriter/guide/template_default.xhp text/swriter/guide/template_create.xhp text/swriter/guide/templates_styles.xhp

source/text/shared/01/01010100.xhp as well.
An overview of what is ahead of us: text/shared/guide/aaa_start.xhp Short mention of the window, one element needs a rename. text/shared/guide/standard_template.xhp Changing Default Templates: How to save a template and set it as default. text/shared/01/01110000.xhp File - Templates menu item description. Needs a rewrite. text/shared/01/01110300.xhp File - Templates - Save as Template menu item (.uno:SaveAsTemplate) description. Needs a rewrite. text/shared/01/01110400.xhp File - Templates - Open Template menu item (.uno:OpenTemplate) description. Needs some updates. text/shared/01/01020000.xhp File - Open menu item description. Needs some updates on its own and apart from that this has some long dead template-related features documented which probably can be dropped. text/swriter/guide/template_default.xhp Changing the Default Template: How to save a new document as a template and how to set it as default. Sounds familiar :). text/swriter/guide/template_create.xhp Creating a Document Template: How to save a new document as a template and how to open it as one. This describes mostly the current UI, so probably this can stay out of the three similar pages. text/swriter/guide/templates_styles.xhp Templates and Styles: definitions and related topics. Mostly okay but short. Maybe some tweaks and longer explanations could be useful. text/shared/01/01010100.xhp The old Templates Manager dialog description. Maybe some tips or notes could be recycled, but generally the new page just replaced this. text/shared/04/01010000.xhp and text/shared/guide/startcenter.xhp These refer to the "Templates and Documents" window, which is now just "Templates"

Polite ping: is this bug fixed? if so, please close it as RESOLVED FIXED
(In reply to Xisco Faulí from comment #15) > Polite ping: is this bug fixed? if so, please close it as RESOLVED FIXED Hi This is not yet done, there are still a few pages left to modify, i.e. the guide ones from comment #0
Dear Gabor Kelemen, This bug has been in ASSIGNED status for more than 3 months without any activity. Resetting it to NEW. Please assigned it back to yourself if you're still working on this.
I would propose deleting text/swriter/guide/template_default.xhp text/swriter/guide/template_create.xhp and collecting all procedures for creating and modifying templates (both default and custom) in: text/shared/guide/standard_template.xhp (AFAIK, the procedures for creating and modifying templates are equivalent for all modules, so it is an advantage to have it located in text/shared/guide/standard_template.xhp -- rather than separate files for writer.) https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/help/+/105855 provides an example that collects all the procedures onto: text/shared/guide/standard_template.xhp (but does not make any modifications in relation to template_default.xhp and template_create.xhp) If that patch seems ok, then after it is submitted, I would remove template_default.xhp and template_create.xhp (because their content is addressed (and updated) in standard_template.xhp), and address the consequences of their removal in other .xhp files. [Not so hard, because the two files are mostly only part of "related topics" or overview lists, which can replaced with embeds from standard_template.xhp]. There is also, text/shared/optionen/01040301.xhp which embeds more or less all of text/shared/guide/standard_template.xhp (which is then embedded in text/shared/optionen/01040300.xhp). Adds unnecessary obscurity, which can be made more transparent.

I think there is more work to do. As noted in comment 4 > text/shared/01/01020000.xhp > File - Open menu item description. Needs some updates on its own and apart > from that this has some long dead template-related features documented which > probably can be dropped. Some of the material there is relevant for templates, but probably should not be in File > Open, which is the main topic of that page. Other material (from 2008) is about updating and applying styles -- which have already been discussed on other pages.
