3 commands under /news template, sourced directly from NewsCog (src/cogs/news.py). Templates define defaults, not locked-in content — using one just pre-fills the builder, which stays fully editable afterward.
Permission is the check News Bot enforces when the command actually runs — see Installation & Permissions for how Announcement Manager resolves.
Only name is required — everything else becomes the default for drafts created from this template. category is one of release, maintenance, update, promotion, incident, event, custom (defaults to custom). mention_policy is one of No Ping, @here, @everyone, Role. cta_label/cta_url add a single default CTA button — for more than one, add the rest from the builder after using the template. Template names must be unique per server.Permission: Announcement ManagerExample: /news template create name:"Release Notes" category:release mention_policy:"@here"
Opens a browser over saved templates. Selecting one shows Use (pre-fill a new draft from it), Clone (save it under a new name), and Delete.Permission: None — any member in the server can browse and use templates
