Make '/doc/template[s]/' paths consistent
Most pages were using the pattern '/doc/templates/[...]', but some were
using the pattern '/doc/template/[...]', which was confusing. This
commit unifies on the former.

The Fedora [template](/doc/templates/) is the default template in Qubes OS. This page is about the standard (or "full") Fedora template. For the minimal and Xfce versions, please see the [Minimal templates](/doc/templates/minimal/) and [Xfce templates](/doc/templates/xfce/) pages.
## Installing
To [install](/doc/templates/#installing) a specific Fedora template that is not currently installed in your system, use the following command in dom0:
```
$ sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-fedora-XX
```
(Replace `XX` with the Fedora version number of the template you wish to install.)
To reinstall a Fedora template that is already installed in your system, see [How to Reinstall a template](/doc/reinstall-template/).
## After Installing
After installing a fresh Fedora template, we recommend performing the following steps:
1. [Update the template](/doc/software-update-vm/).
2. [Switch any app qubes that are based on the old template to the new one](/doc/templates/#switching).
3. If desired, [uninstall the old template](/doc/templates/#uninstalling).
## Installing software
See [How to Install Software](/doc/how-to-install-software/).
## Updating
For routine daily updates within a given release, see [How to Update](/doc/how-to-update/).
## Upgrading
There are two ways to upgrade your template to a new Fedora release:
- **Recommended:** [Install a fresh template to replace the existing one.](#installing) **This option may be simpler for less experienced users.** After you install the new template, redo all desired template modifications and [switch everything that was set to the old template to the new template](/doc/templates/#switching). You may want to write down the modifications you make to your templates so that you remember what to redo on each fresh install. To see a log of package manager actions, open a terminal in the old Fedora template and use the `dnf history` command.
- **Advanced:** [Perform an in-place upgrade of an existing Fedora template.](/doc/templates/fedora/in-place-upgrade/) This option will preserve any modifications you've made to the template, **but it may be more complicated for less experienced users.**
