To create a template page, precede the name with the word "template" and a colon.
+
For example, to create a template called "my template", type the link like this:<tt><nowiki>[[template:my template]]</nowiki></tt>. Alternatively, put it in curly brackets (without the "template:" prefix), thus: <tt><nowiki>{{my template}}</nowiki></tt>.
