Adding script templates to project or editor folder does not make it appear on the "Create New Script" Dialogue

Godot version

4.0.alpha8

System information

Manjaro Linux, Vulkan

Issue description

I've added a template script to the project folder res:://script_templates/ like I used to do in Godot 3.x but it is not showing up on the Create new script dialogue.

I tried to add it directly to the editor script_templates folder and it also did not work, I use the editor in self contained mode.

Tried to take a look at the latest documentation, but it doesn't seem like I'm doing anything different:
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/tutorials/scripting/creating_script_templates.html

Even tried to copy-paste the example in the documentation but got nothing.

Steps to reproduce

Start a new project, extract the attached zip file (it's just the "script_templates" folder with two files, the one I use and the example from the documentation) on the root folder of any godot 4.0 project and try to create a new script.

Minimal reproduction project

script_templates.zip

In 4.0, you have to put the template script inside a folder with the name of your target class.

e.g. If your template script targets any Node, then it has to be at res://script_templates/Node/some_name.gd.

Thanks a lot @timothyqiu

This was tripping me up big time. This really needs to be added to documentation.

@timothyqiu using %BASE% or the other placeholders on my template is not working on alpha9. Have they changed and is this another obsolete documentation problem or should I open a separate issue for it?

[timothyqiu]

@eh-jogos Ah, yes, these %XXX% were changed to _XXX_. So it's _BASE_ now in 4.0.

You can open an issue in godot-docs repository to request an update of the documentation.

@timothyqiu Thanks a lot! Will open the issue there then!
