How to promote use of (existing) templates with new "Add" menu options?

We've been using templates since we implemented Confluence many years ago. We're now at v3.4.7, testing v4.0.3, and I notice a change in the "Add" menu options, which are now (in this order):

* Page
* Page from template
* ...

and if you choose "Add", it's too late to choose a template!

Q.: Is there an option somewhere which would allow:
* forcing the use of a template
OR
* moving the "Page from template" option to the top of the "Add" list?

To move the "Page from template" option to the top of the menu

Browse to Confluence Admin | Look and Feel | Custom HTML

In At the end of the HEAD paste:

&lt;script&gt;
  AJS.toInit(function(){
    AJS.$('#createPageLinkTemplate').parent().prependTo('#add-menu-link-space');
  });
&lt;/script&gt;

Hi David,

Sounds great, but after I edit the *At the end of the HEAD* field as specified, option order in the *Add* menu doesn't change BUT the code line is displayed on top of the page header (above the Browse and <username> menus. Something I'm doing wrong, or is the recipe different in 4.0?

I have screenshots available on my workstation, unfortunately I have no public URL to put them as a reference for this question. Isn't there a way to attach images to this interface from the PC (as in Atlassian Support)?

Yes, that wouldn't work. Check the update though. I forgot to wrap the JavaScript in script tags

Exactly what I was looking for -- many thanks, David!
