Creating a template and adding one to an article are two seperate ideas.
 * To create a template, you begin as you normally would (Contribute -> Add a page) but in front of the template name add "Template:" ie. Template:CharacterInfobox.
 * You do not see the button because you are (I'm assuming you don't have an account) editing anonymously so the default editor is the new Visual Editor (which isn't the Classic Editor). In the new editor you add a template by clicking Insert -> Template.
