That's part of the group I'd copied over. But let me give it a shot with just that and nothing else and report back.
#WAITFOR{{Jeopardy Theme}}
Well, I did as you suggest. The grey comes through on the template page but on on the page whereon the template is transcluded.

Anything else I could look at that comes to mind?

Maybe you want this snip from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css:

/* Other pages message box styles */
table.ombox {
     margin: 4px 10%;
     border-collapse: collapse;
     border: 1px solid #aaa;       /* Default "notice" gray */
     background: #f9f9f9;
}

There is more below that, too. I prefer simple stuff myself. The
Wikipedia's templates are a few orders of magnitude more complex than
I like. Too many fingers in the pie I guess. Why note bake your own
templates, and keep it simple?

Me again.

If you look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:In_creation you will
see that the template box has a light grey background. I've tried copying a
rather large section of MediaWiki:Common.css to my own wiki's Common.css but
I'm obviously not grabbing the right part. Can you advise when section is
the correct one to grab? It does not appear to be in the group starting with

/* Article message box styles */

and ending much further below with

/* Allow for hiding text in compact form */
.compact-ambox .hide-when-compact {
display: none;
}
