I created the page Template:Cite_book
I went here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Cite_book
and tried View Source, and copies that into the new page I created, as 
that was what the documentation said to do, create the Template like 
creating an article.  It wasn't happy with that at all.  When I then 
tried to use {{cite book}} it replaced that with a whole bunch of content.
I didn't see how to get to Special:Export for that particular page. 
Will it give me something different?
No, I just tried that.  I entered the page that I wanted exported:
Template:Cite_book
and it did create an export file.  I then imported it to my wiki and 
tried to use {{cite book}} and got a whole mess of characters showing up 
that was a mess.
I'm doing something wrong.  I cannot even find the pages that I 
uploaded.  They don't show up on all pages when I go there from Special 
pages on my wiki.
