templated
Made from molds
Templated describes something created from or following a template—a preset pattern or format.
A templated email uses standard language with blanks for customization.
Templated code follows reusable structures.
The word often carries a faint criticism: templated responses feel impersonal, suggesting someone didn't bother to craft something original.
