Well I don't understand how you get them wrong if you're just pasting
them from a file. I mean, sure you can pick the wrong template but
nothing can help you there. You could just as easily pick the wrong
template if it's a database feature instead of a text file.

"Agile" doesn't mean doing things without thinking about them :)
