Right now the way that you add a template through the VisualEditor is by choosing the Transclusion option from the toolbar. 'Transclusion' is programmer jargon. Regular people have no idea what that means. 'Template' is a somewhat ambiguous term, but at least it matches all of our documentation and the name of the namespace. It is also less scary sounding.
Eh. Maybe. We've been talking about this for months and months (surprised that there's not an extant bug for this). The problem is that though "transclusion" is indeed confusing and a surprising word, it has the advantage of being correct, and "template" is even more confusing (and just jargon from a different well).

Created attachment 15228 [details] Transclusion vs. Template I'm still seeing a few "transclusion" in the dialogs, on English Wikipedia.
