+## Templater Community Plugin
+
+[Templater](https://silentvoid13.github.io/Templater/introduction.html)
+is an [[obsidian]] community plugin
+which appears at first glance to be for note templates,
+like the Templates core plugin,
+but it's really more of a low-level plugin
+for executing arbitrary [[javascript]] on your vault
+which happens to be useful for templates.
+
+I believe I tried it once before,
+but I bounced off the use patterns.
+
+A "template" to Templater
+is better called a _script_,
+but unlike in most interpreters,
+text is passed through by default.
+Body text is not necessary either,
+you could have a "template" that's just straight JS
+(via the <%* %> syntax).
+
+Many community plugins could be replaced with templates,
+namely those with simple behavior and no GUI.
+
+I think Templater may be ideal for [[vault-maintenance]] scripts,
+one because it doesn't require a separate runtime,
+but mostly because scripts can be written in Obsidian.
+
+***
+
+Ensure all linked periodic notes exist:
+1. Get all linked periodic notes that don't exist
+2. Create each with all appropriate frontmatter properties
+3. Repeat until all exist.
