Obsidian Templates

This is a collection of Obsidian templates I use or have used. Most of these use Templater (and its "Trigger on file creation" feature) but I'll list the plugins used for each one in the overview below. You might also need to adjust folder paths and file names used in the Templater scripts. I've translated some metadata field names to English for readability.
