You need to be a space administrator to create a space template.

To add a template for a space:

    1. From any page in the space, choose Browse > Advanced.
    2. Click Templates in the left-hand panel.
    3. Click Add New Space Template.
  2. The 'Create Template' screen will appear. Enter a name for your template in the Name text field and an optional description in the Description text field.
  3. Using regular Confluence wiki markup and form field markup (if you are using forms), enter content in the text box. See the screenshot below.
  4. Click Edit next to 'Labels' if you want to use labels to categorise information. Add your labels. These labels will be included in all pages created using this template.
  5. Preview and click Save. Your template will be added to the list of space templates.

To view the space templates, choose Browse > Advanced > Templates.

    If I understand correctly, you can't access the wiki markup for an existing page, then copy and paste it to create a new template. Correct? If so, this makes creating templates a lot more prone to error.
