Okay I got it...had to make a small plugin, but it appears to work...
/*\ title: $:/core/modules/macros/tw5filterTemplatePrefix.js
type: application/javascript module-type: macro Macro to return
something less the prefix.
\*/
(function(){ /*jslint node: true, browser: true */
/*global $tw: false */
"use strict";
/* Information about this macro */
exports.name = "tw5filterTemplatePrefix";
exports.params = [ {name: "m"} ];
/* Run the macro m: is the Tiddler Template Title returns: The name of
the Tiddler less the template. */
exports.run = function(m, v) { return m.replace(/Template/i, ""); };
})();
*$:/core/modules/macros/tw5filterTemplatePrefix.js *
<!--
Name: testCreate()
Purpose: Macro that uses the specified tiddler as a template for
copying / cloning / duplicating it into a new one
with a
specified suffix.
Macro required variables:
- $(whichTiddlerTemplate)$ - The name of the src tiddler to be
copied
- $(tiddlerToCreate)$ - The name of the new tiddler to create
minus the suffix.
- $(dasSuffix)$ - The suffix of the new tiddler to create.
Macro required shadow tiddlers:
- $:/state/tab-1749438307 - stores the name of the copied,
cloned, duplicated tiddler.
Dependency macros:
- createDasTid()
-->
\define testCreate()
<!-- Set this field for use later when we generate the title of the new
copied/duplicated/cloned tiddler -->

<<createDasTid>>
\end

replicates
1. The name of the existing Template tiddler.
2. The name of the new cloned Tiddler created from the tiddler
template.
2.1 (The new suffix for each cloned/duplicated/copied tiddler)
-->
<!-- Each Tiddler to be used as a template and duplicated
is tagged with both of the following tags: "templates", and
"EditingTemplate"
and here we obtain them to be gone through using the currentTiddler
variable,
one at a time after the button is clicked.
Each of these tiddlers also ends with the suffix "Template" which
needs to be removed
later on by the removeTemplatePrefix macro when generating the name
of the newly created
tiddler.

Create From Editing Template
</$button>
*Tiddler: CreateTiddlersFromTemplates*
This appears to work if you leave all the <!-- --> comments out, I should
probably add something for the tags as well.
