Fix pluralisation
- ## Proposals
- When proposing a new Codidact community, there is a [proposal template](https://proposals.codidact.com/help/proposal-template) but it is a separate page in the help system, provided as a link from the top of the new post page in the Descriptions category. Rather than needing to follow the link, copy the template, and then paste it into the previous page, it would be useful to be able to press a button and have the description prepopulated.
- ## Optional and multiple
- An optional button does not seem too intrusive for people who wish to avoid the template, and would keep open the option of having multiple templates for those communities and categories where this would be useful.
- ## New users
Although new users may not notice the button, that's a one off problem that we can support them through with comments. I would rather this minor inconvenience when they first arrive, than irritate them later by autopopulating every time they post somewhere that uses templates if they don't want it.
