After creating the page, edit it by taking the code below as example

<noinclude>{{Template}}</noinclude>
<includeonly>{{Box|{{{1}}}|{{{2}}}|#rgb|#rgb}}</includeonly>

Template arguments explained

- rgb is the hex code for the border's color. - rgb is the hex code for the background color. - Box is the template where these templates take their formatting.

Save your Template Base page and create a new page.

Example: http://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Template:TemplateName

After creating the page, edit it and use below code as example

<noinclude>{{Template}}</noinclude>
<includeonly>{{TemplateNameBase|TemplateName:|{{{1|{{Purpose}}}}}}}</includeonly>
