Expected Outcomes

• You can read and understand YAML form template structure
• You recognize accessibility-first design in form templates

---

If You Get Stuck

1. Look in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/workshop-registration.yml - that is the form you filled out to join
2. If YAML structure is confusing, focus on the field 'type' values: input, dropdown, textarea
3. Compare your registration issue with how a blank issue would look
4. Ask facilitator to show you a template they created
5. Comment on this issue describing what is blocking you

Learning Moment

The best template is one you have already used. Template design is about pattern recognition and context adaptation, not starting from scratch.
