Either set this in config.php :
$EditTemplatesFmt = array('$Group.MyTemplate', '$Group.MySecontTemplate', 
'Templates.$Group-template');

It will use a page "MyTemplate" in the current group, then "MySecondTemplate", 
then in a special group Templates and if none is found, will be a blank page.


Or set this in /local/Rooster.php :
$EditTemplatesFmt = array('Rooster.PlayerTemplate');

This will override all other settings and for the Rooster group it will use 
the PlayerTemplate page.

Have fun,
