Why? Sisters are family, but don't inherit from each other and this is a
sister relationship. The only thing they have in common is the stuff
surrounding the data. One has a form.as_p the other is a loop based on
different variable. You're going to end up with more if statements than
code saved.
What you can do, is create a shared parent that does the page_title,
headline and so on for you, so that you only have to provide the content
block. So this would be a base_notes.html which extends base.html and
has an empty content block.
