I want to create a template that will be used as a default when someone is creating a topic

So that I control and guide users what to write in the template

This will be used for an incident tracking procedures

Discussion and Answer

There's a comprehensive documentation in TWikiForms.

For incident tracking you'll want to encourage your users to fill some "standardized" data into a form. In TWiki, a form is just another TWiki topic with a certain syntax (basically, a table defining the keywords you want to have in the form). The bugs web (http://develop.twiki.org/~twiki4/cgi-bin/view/Bugs/) is a pretty rich example of such a system!

Create a WebTopicEditTemplate. Read TWikiTemplates for details.

But, you likely need more structure for an incident tracker. Look into creating a TWikiForms-based application.
