Just like you would apply templay modifications manually:
If a mod required edits for 2 templates - you have to add 2 template modifications.
If it requires 2 modifications in 1 template, you have to add 2 template modifications, etc.

How exactly does the Template-Modification system work when a vBulletin upgrade is performed? Stated in the release notes is the fact that edited templates aren't affected when an upgrade is done. So does this mean that a board with MODs is running off of the edited and original templates?
TMS detects if a vBulletin upgrade was performed and template for which there are template modifications are defined in TMS. If there are sucgh templates, a warning mesage is being displayed on ACP home.
By clicking the link, those template modifications will be tested if the do still work.
If not you must modify the template modifications (this happens when search text is modified in the new vBulletin version and can't be found anymore).

Don't some MODs have a plugin that you need to install and also have template edits that need to be done for the MOD? For these MODs, I would assume you would add the edits through TMS. But how are the template edits that are done from the plugin added in to TMS?
There are products that edit templates at runtime.
You can either leave that as-is, or disable the plugin and add the necessary template modifications to TMS.

As stated in the FAQ:
1. Click Styles & Template / Template-Modifications Manager
2. Next to the Style where you want to add the template-modification (normally this would be MASTER) select 'Add Template-Modification'
3. Select the Template and Product
Set Active to Yes
Enter a varname and descriptive Title
4. Paste the seach text from the mod instructions into the 1st textarea
5. Paste the replace text from the mod instructions into the 2nd textare and choose the appropirate method as stated in teh instructions (eg. replace, insert above/below)
5. Click Save

Repeat these steps for all necessary template modifications.

Done.

Would it be possible to provide an English version of the demos? Shouldn't be too hard...only rename the different edits.
Rename the titles?
Not really
