-1.

I've successfully built, installed and fired up a wiki based on 2.11.0.M1.
Everything works as it should. I was even able to do a one-liner change to
common-headers.jsp and get my own supplemental stylesheet to work nicely.

I'm downvoting for one reason: any users (such as myself) who (mistakenly)
re-use their existing jspwiki-custom.properties file, or as I did, copy
my "custom" properties across to the new file, will get a template-less
result (a white page with the LeftMenu at the bottom of the screen and the
page-content even further down) if they neglect to set the template name
from 'haddock' to 'default' or leave the property commented-out. This might
flummox some admins and isn't a friendly behaviour.

Perhaps when the template name in the property file fails JSPWiki should
fall back to the default template rather than fail outright? At very least
there should be a note in the change log indicating that 'haddock' no
longer works as a template name.

This is kinda an edge case; I don't really want to downvote and delay things
but this does seem like a minor bug. I'm open to changing my vote, BTW,
i.e., I'm easily convinced that a note in the change log would suffice,
more wanting to see how you folks feel about this.

Cheers,

Murray
