the template files are simply "blank" texture files,usually showing the wireframe view of the mesh,this just shows you how the object is mapped,what part of the image file goes where on the model..think of them like a coloring book,if you paint inside the lines you have a texture[using photoshop,paintshop pro or whatever image prog you like]...they are not necessary for the item to work,and as such you can put them anywhere or nowhere at all,they're usually included as a courtesy for those who may want to make their own textures
