when extending base.html from page.html, a base.html should be included about djangocms-installer HOT 4 CLOSED

Easier fix: change {% extends "base.html" %} to {% extends "index.html" %} (leftover from previous versions).
Above templates are not meant to use as a base for anything, I don't think we should suggest any particular content there.
Eventually we can document the fact that those templates are just stubs.

But extending the index.html that way will not result in any useful template, right?

If that assumption is right, and If they're not meant to be used, they can be removed completely!

Delivering nonworking example templates doesn't exactly help the user setting up the system, it's simply confusing - I can tell from own experience, it was for me, when attending divio's DJ CMS Tutorial at Pycon.DE last month.

As a new user, I have a more specific opinion about this:

I believe the installer, if it's meant to help also first time users to get started, can provide a simple template to get started for simple requirements, like having a menu, and be able to create pages and put plugins into them with actual content.

While it's good to know that I can infinitely extend aldryn, it's also very helpful to extend the user base the simpler it is to get started, and that includes, IMHO, not needing to add and register an own template just to have a simple website. That is really something I'd hope an installation helper tool will do for me.

Have a look at #34
I wouldn't go further than that in templates completedness
