Hi Jason, The concept is the following: $:/_new-template is the template. Everything you want in the template you have to enter there, so replace the text:
This is a template $:/_new-template Tagged with task and field color = #04B. with the text you want. You can add field(s) you want (instead of the color field). You van add tag(s) (instead of the tag task). If you click the 'New template tiddler' button you get a tiddler filled with the template text, tag(s, and field(s). The only thing you have to do is rename the title of the tiddler from '$:/_new-template 1' to the title you want.

Do you want a 'New template tiddler' link/button in a tiddler? Or do you want to create a copy of the tiddler you are working on by clicking a link/button? In the latter case you can use the 'Clone tiddler' button, also described in [1] Hope that helps.
