-.. Change things from this point on
+There are three templates from which to start a spec, depending on what you
+are proposing:
+
+* If you are proposing a completely new library:
+  `new-library-template.rst <https://opendev.org/openstack/oslo-specs/src/branch/master/specs/new-library-template.rst>`_
+* If you are proposing a new policy for Oslo:
+  `policy-template.rst <https://opendev.org/openstack/oslo-specs/src/branch/master/specs/policy-template.rst>`_
+* If you are proposing any other major feature:
+  `template.rst <https://opendev.org/openstack/oslo-specs/src/branch/master/specs/template.rst>`_
