Hello,
I just pushed fix into our community templates repository. You can find
up-to-date epel snippet here:
https://github.com/theforeman/community-templates/blob/master/snippets/epel.erb
In the upcoming Foreman version, you will be able to synchronize your
templates against a git repo. Until then, you can copy-paste it from
there.
Unfortunately EPEL project does not provide a "stable" symlink that
would not change. We need to keep bumping the release number.

This should really work out of box. Are you sure the template got saved?
Is the template associated with the correct OS?
@devs:
I was thinking - maybe to add a little test to the community-templates
that would try to contact various urls? Like trying to render with all
possible values and then using some HTML tools trying to visit all links
(head http request)
