A pilot template (Prestige Drama, Half-Hour Comedy, Broadcast Hour, Limited Series, or High-Concept Genre) is a structural beat sheet — it shapes the Pilot Episode Structure and Season Arc boards. A genre (Crime/Police Procedural, Comedy, Thriller/Suspense, and 21 others) is just a descriptive tag, up to 3 per project, that flavors prompts elsewhere without changing the board structure itself. You can only pick one template per project, but up to three genres.
