Need wiki help: Advocacy TODO page

WWW,

I'd like to set up an Advocacy TODO page.  So, first thing, I'd like to
be able to re-use the TODO list template; how do I create a new page
which uses those templates (assume no Mediawiki internals knowledge).

Second, I'd like to extend the template (this is less important), to
support adding a list of people "claiming" a TODO item.  Each claim
should include a message link.  I think this would be valuable for the
hacking TODO as well.
