Anne-Laure: No. Create a new tiddler with any title (e.g MyCustomEditTemplate) , and paste the contents I provided into it. No tag needed.
Step 2, where we edit $:/config/ui/EditTemplate and replace the contents with the title you used in Step 1 (MyCustomEditTemplate), tells TiddlyWiki to use an entirely different EditTemplate instead of the default one. The tag $:/tags/EditTemplate is used when you want to add something to the existing template, we are replacing it entirely, so as to override the macro that dicatates what happens when we save a tiddler. So do not tag the tiddler you create in step 1.
