With you on this one, not much of a mainspace editor myself :P

Anwyay, adding templates isn't too complicated. Head to your desired page, and select Source Mode (the two squared brackets [ ] at the bottom of your editor, just left of the eyeball representing visual mode), and type in ), and it should appear normally in Visual Mode. (Make sure to use curved brackets rather than square brackets  )

Colour isn't really needed in pages as it comes with the template, but if you wanted to insert it for some reason, even for the aesthetic outside of mainspace, use Coloured Text, and replace the zeros with the hexadecimal colour value for whatever you'd like. (This is a link to a website you can use to find hex values.

Similarly, articles don't usually need links since they come with templates, but if you want to add one in general, you can use the link symbol at the bottom of your editor and input your target page as well as the text to appear, and you're good to go.

This is a page dedicated to testing mainspace, and making sure everything works fine. (Also note the preview button, it allows you to see the article in the state it would be if you finished the edit, it helps when catching mistakes and such.)
