NO!  You should never EVER select "template".  Indeed, the fact that
you can even *see* "template" is a bug that (still?) needs to be fixed!
If you select Template it will cause lots of issues.

The namespace is a freeform text string, but it's there solely for your
human purposes.  It means nothing to GnuCash (except the aforementioned
"template" namespace).  You can just type in ASX if you care.

The important part is the Quote Source setting and the Stock Symbol.
