Can I create my own question template under a permissive license to allow people to copy/paste it at will?

I submitted a question about a move recommendation. As my first question, I forked a well written question by @Fabio who seems to fit perfectly. I forked it no by laziness, nor by "hoping to get the same rep". The question is well made, fitting, why reinvent the wheel? I extracted a template and I submit it with my own problem. Now, here is the thing, I forgot to post the original source and so my post was flag as plagiarism (which I cant deny based on What exactly is plagiarism?). I meant no harm, but still, it does count.

After reading comments on my question, I learnt that author credit may not be enough. @Glorfindel talked about "using my own word" and here is my question for meta: Would it be possible to create one template to ask this kind of question? I would like to avoid this kind of issue. I would even like to create an open source extension to link lichess move to SE. The goal would to avoid to rewrite something existing each time to focus of the problem not the frame.

I am not the only none native english speaker on SE, I think it could be useful.
