[Sysman]

One common word that is misused in IT circles is template.

This is a proper template, IT for the use of.

Suity, this chick obviously needs her requirements gathered.

So, get to the phonebox, get changed into your Suity-Hero costume and sort this out !

(Apologies for using the word 'chick' as it's slightly sexist and I know bitches don't like that)

We're not using templates at all. None Of that detail in that link is relevant to what we are doing. But yet, it still wants us to specify a template even though the template is a url

Ah, so user error. You're supposed to set up templates, but you haven't. Then you're complaining because it wants to know which template to use.

A URL is a particular kind of URI.

That's probably not relevant, but throwing it out there helps muddy the waters a little

Is it a URL or is it in fact a template URI?

No, a URL.

[doodab]

The field was labelled template. How in Gods name am I to deduce it's a URL just from that?

[Gittins Gal]

Because that would be a misuse of the technical terms. It is a URI template, so that's what it's called.
