 * I’ve been reading through the docs and FAQ and there stuff on templates but I
   can’t find the answer to this simple question. I’ve duplicated one of the templates
   and made a small change to it, let’\s call int template-edit.php.
 * When I go to “Manage > Pages > About > Edit > Page Template” template-edit.php
   does not appear as one of the options. How do I make it appear there?
 * I know it’s in the docs somewhere, damned if I can find it.

 * Just make sure you include the following at the start of your template.
 * `<?php
    /* Template Name: name */ ?>
