With this theme default page.php looks like this:

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
 <div class="p-head">
  <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
 </div>
<div class="p-con">
<?php the_content('<p class="serif">Read the rest of this page &raquo;</p>'); ?>
</div>
<?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => '<p><strong>Pages:</strong> ', 'after' => '</p>', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>
</div>

<?php if ( comments_open() ) comments_template(); ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<?php edit_post_link('Edit this entry.', '<p class="edit">', '</p>'); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

And making a new page template like for example “Forum” (forum.php) doesn’t seem to work, if I remove any part (well almost) of the page.php code the site is just blank and nothing loads.

And as you see the “get_sidebar” isn’t even there.
