At present, we are using the word 'प्रारूप' for the namespace 'Template'. However, I have checked with several dictionaries and glossaries including Rajhauns New Generation E-K and K-E dictionaries, Maffei's and Dantas' dictionaries, and Konknni Abhyaskosh, but I couldn't find this word anywhere. That means that this Hindi word is not a part of Konkani. Therefore, I propose that we change the Konkani namespace name of 'Template'. My suggestion is 'सांचो'. Please let me know your opinions and suggest what word we can use.

definetly, we should change it to kokni word but fear this would be a huge task of renaming many pages and replacing many links...someone with higher technical knowledge may elaborate on this?
We do not need to rename any pages, the software will automatically start displaying the new namespace names. The task of replacing the links can be done automatically (for example by using a tool like AWB). Also the old namespace name will be retained as an alias, so there will not be any problem till the links are updated or in case someone uses the old name.
I support सांचो for TEMPLATE.
We discussed this off-Wiki in our community WhatsApp group too, and the consensus converged towards सांचो . Hence, I will request for the namespace name for 'Template' to be changed to सांचो .
