Mark, this is great news, a little bit like expected! Thanks again for clarifying the term "generic" here. It's helpful to have it for definition of both, "regular" and "digest".
Is this documented somewhere?
I don't think so.
I thought I had seen it "somewhere", but I can't find it now. It should be here: https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/release-3.1/src/mailman/rest/d....
See https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/1243.
Besides templates.html, this should be documented briefly in the forms for changing the generic, regular, and digest templates, something as simple as adding "if empty, falls back to generic:template" would do for the regular and digest specific templates, and "shadowed by regular:template and digest:template" for the generic template.
Note that that is in the developer's documentation for the REST API. :-( We really need to reorganize the docs to be more discoverable for typical admins.
I think, I need to create a wiki for mailman3.
We have a wiki at https://wiki.list.org/ for all versions of Mailman. See the first paragraph at that page for info on obtaining write access.
But note that this is *not* appropriate for the wiki, which is more oriented to FAQs and news. Wikis are fine for formal documentation, but only if that's the ground truth. For better or worse, we chose not to do that.
