When possible we suggest patterns during the page creation flow. This can help speed up the addition of pages, and provide some creative inspiration.

It would be good to do the same thing when creating a new template. It's not yet possible to associate a pattern with a template, so we'll need to split this into two parts:

• Offer options to start blank, or with the closest template in the hierarchy (FSE: Fall back to next best template in hierarchy when querying through REST API #37258), for which we can provide a visual preview
• Offer options to start with a contextual pattern, either from the directory or the set bundled with the theme. Blocked by Add: Template types to the patterns API. #45814.

For part one, we'll display something like this after the template is created:

This will be augmented with additional patterns for part two:
