Templates are standard wiki pages whose content is designed to be [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Transclusion transcluded] (embedded) inside other pages. Templates follow a convention that the name is prefixed with "<code>Template:</code>", assigning it to that namespace. Therefore you can [[Help:Starting a new page|create them like any other wiki page]].
