Using latest version: 3.0.0

On pages {{body\_class}} returns `post-template` as class instead of `page-template`.

Will this get fixed? Or reported as bug at least? Last time I opened a ticket on github the gestapo scolded me.

“gestapo” might be too strong of a word 😅. This does seem like a bug, would you mind raising it on GitHub? Thanks [Issues · TryGhost/Ghost · GitHub](https://github.com/tryghost/ghost/issues)

Thanks for opening an issue. I just now managed to read your reply.

Don’t get me wrong, I have learned from previous experiences and I don’t like getting “burned” multiple times, once is enough.  
Maybe a change of policy would be welcome. Don’t understand why opening an issue is/was such a big problem. Isn’t the hole point of open source to contribute? Also I exaggerated to make a point. Big egos? Don’t like criticism? Dunno.

🙂
