Since this tool was originally created, the process for creating elements has been overhauled anyway. Any template from before would be unhelpful in creating elements anymore, stuff like //#TPT-Directive is removed and update / graphics functions are no longer in classes.
So even if the link wasn't 404, it wouldn't help. If you are developing a c++ mod, I recommend checking out simple elements like ACID.cpp to see what they look like. The only other file that needs edits to define an element is src/simulation/elements/meson.build.
Other questions can be posted in the "Development Assistance" subforum.
