Q:

Are there any tutorials on version 10 notebook templating and report generation? Are there missing docs?

Bug introduced in 10.0 and persisting through 10.2 or later

I am trying to understand the new templating in version 10. While there is a general documentation page with links to docs for each new function, so far I am unable to find any report generation worked examples of what a user may do after they open File > New > Template Notebook. Additionally when I press the help button on the template notebook it seems there is documentation missing:

When you type "ReportGeneration" in the docs this is what you get:

Templates were first introduced in the Finance Platform -- which is essentially a version of Mathematica with a few other functions. Rather than have report generation functions without any coherent description of how a user can start from scratch and make a template and an automated report, the Finance Platform has a wealth of material, including a tour:

...detailed extensive documentation:

...a specific palette that contains links to the tour, the extensive documentation and a video:

All of this stuff is missing from my OS X version 10. Is it present in Windows?

John Fultz gave a great talk about the templating system at the European Wolfram Technology Conference in 2014 - http://www.wolfram.com/events/technology-conference-eu/2014/presentations/Fultz_ReportGeneration.nb
As requested, here's a video of John doing madlibs http://www.wolfram.com/broadcast/video.php?sx=Report%20Generation&v=1096

Maybe they renamed it. You should search the help for "AutomatedReports" this will bring you to guide/AutomatedReports. Or on the web: AutomatedReports.
Some small examples and more details are presented at Automated Report Generation and the links therein.
