vBulletin Manual - Adding or Editing a Single Template

Editing a template is simply like editing regular HTML. Each template represents XHTML bits with PHP-style ($varname) variable names. For more information on what you can use in the templates, see the Templates Introduction.

Product - the name of the product which introduced this template. By default this will be vBulletin.
Style – the name of the style that this template is in or will be inserted into.
Title – the title of the template. This is what is used to identify a template, so it must be unique. Generally, only a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and _ are used. If there is more than one template revision stored an additional link of [View History] will be shown. This link will allow you to compare the current template with previous versions.
Template – this is the actual body of the template. The [Show Default] link will show you the unmodified version of the template.
Search in Template – the text box and [Find] allow you to search within the template text. Please note that this is not available in all browsers.

This row also contains several additional options:

Copy – this automatically copies the context of the Template box to your clipboard.
View QuickRef – this displays the language quick reference.
Save in Template History - This row allows you to save your template revision for future comparison if needed. You can add a comment to help you remember what was changed.

The drop down selection list for editing styles "may" appear with a scroll bar hiding the top three or four selections. If you do not see an option to create a new template - scroll up to find it.
