Pages issue (5.0.0. B1)

This is not a bug. There is no need for a 2 or 3 column template in version 5, as you can just drag into columns. In fact you can even have a mixture of the 2. The only thing you need to specify is whether or not you wish to have a sidebar

 

Excellent solution,thanks

Just a note: the template option is still present in v4 pages if a non-standard template has been selected.
