Second, to have a template place somewhere, you enclose it inside of curly braces (these {{}}), and—this is crucial to not get confused over—when you are placing it, you don't use the prefix "template". To give you an example, If I wanted to welcome you to Knowledge (as someone already has above using a template) I might use the template,
