doc/todo/turn_edittemplate_verbosity_off_by_default.mdwn



edittemplate replaces its directive with a note like "edittemplate person
registered for people/*". It would be nice if this were dependent on
a verbose parameter and default to off. I don't see the value in it, and by
disabling the output, I can keep template registration as close as possible to
the action as needed.
I think this (untested) patch might just do the trick:
