If you are running PostgreSQL 9.1+ you don't need to bother with the
template database, but with the EXTENSION mechanism as introduced from this
release. Please consider the following link:

In particular, consider this part:

If you are running PostgreSQL 9.1+, we recommend you
don't even bother with the template database and just use

CREATE EXTENSION postgis

in the database of your choosing or use PgAdmin
Extensions install feature which we will cover in this tutorial.
