When it says navigate to Template:Example, it means to type Template:Example in the URL to replace the title of whatever page you're currently viewing. So for Thunder Force Wiki, that would be http://thunderforce.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Example.

Alternatively, you can simply click the Contribute button and select Add a Page. Then in the window that pops up, enter Template:Example, or whatever title you want for the template you're creating.

To break it down to the most basic aspect, creating a template simply means creating a page in the Template namespace, which means its title is Template:______ (where the blank is whatever name you choose for the template).
