Outdated article

Description

Using this page to install a different version of a template from NuGet and received this message.

I saw no mention of this change in the article. With this warning I would have expected a message along the lines of this in the article with the examples.

Beginning with .NET X, the colon separator "::" has been deprecated in favor of the at symbol "@" for separating the package from the version in dotnet new install.

Indeed, and this is also mentioned in the dotnet new install page, so it also should be mentioned in this guide.
Let me handle that.
