Forum:I need help making a template

I couldn't even find help on Wikipedia's help:templates page. It doesn't explain well how to make one. Okay, what I need is, for big text, not to have to write out the thing every time. I want to make a template like { {big} } for example but be able to put a pipe in after big and that's where I enter the text I wanted enlarged. I know it's simple; it's almost exactly like the see also template on wikipedia basically; I just don't know how to do it. Thanks. Daniel Christensen 03:54, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, basically your template will read: And that's it. Have fun! -- 04:04, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but I want to be able to enter it as something else so that I avoid like I said having to write out the arrow things every time; like so I can enter { {big|page name} } onto a page and it will show up enlarged. Daniel Christensen 04:24, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh wait; nevermind. Got it! Daniel Christensen 04:25, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh my god it worked. Hahaha. That's so great. It's so funny adding it. Daniel Christensen 04:28, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
