I would also like to see generalization of page variables as are available in templates on non-template pages. Things like page title, author, create and modify dates, number of comments tied to the page, etc.

Anyways, a big second on the named content as it also removes the positional constraints on the page source.

E.g., http://paxrivertri.wikidot.com/smithfield-sprint

I'd like the "Series" field to be optional — some races don't have it. So I wish there was a way that the template could leave out "Series:" if the content placeholder for it is empty.

Also, and this is just an idea out of my head, so I don't know if it is worthwhile, but maybe it would be neat if content fields could be named, i.e,
==== Series ====
instead of just being numbered in order.
