Template naming issue

Latest comment: 7 April1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi! 👋 Just a note, this template doesn't work since the colon is being taken as you specifying a full page name, rather than a template-based wiki page name. So it's looking to transclude File:nixos.

I think the solution would be to rename the template. Already File:nixos seems awkward to me. If it is thought to be desirable to have this specialisation, I think nixos-configuration as the template name would better represent what this is meant to be used for.

Thanks for taking a look. I'm not sure why this doesn't work when say Template:Nixos:option works. Renaming it is a good suggestion, but I was thinking of creating other wrappers over the file template such as file:flake for /etc/nixos/flake.nix and local config at ~/.config/nix/config.nix etc.
