well you just use: "Template:" as a prefix, and hit the: "Edit" button to create the template and start editing it. You edit like a page, and when your desired edits are made, you hit the: "Publish" button, and it is published.

To put it on a page, do this in Source mode: "Name of template here", then hit the: "Publish" button for the page, and it should be on the page.
