I have had a thorough look at the Wiki, though I'm reluctant to hand over the
template to a public 'arena' which can be crawled by search engines. The
template, due to its nature as a template, contains some base text with a
thesis-to-be (I can expose it in private though). It also contains many
comments which are messy and potentially embarrassing. Comments are a power of
LaTeX, but the also make LaTeX a little too exposing to be openly shared.

All the best,
