Well - lib elements are still "available" after you copied them to wherever
you like, while temp elements are just what their name says: temporary - so
the will disappear after you copied them.

But you can still change the values in extension templates. Since the
original temp.whatever disappeared the only difference is, that you have to
change one or more places where you have been using it.

Something like this

temp.whatever = TEXT
temp.whatever {
    value = Hello World
}
marks.HELLO < temp.whatever

can be changed in the extension template by this line:

marks.HELLO.value = Hello NEW World

Depending on the number of different places where you "recycled" your temp
element it might be wise to change it into a lib element. Instead of
changing alle the different places you will be changing the original only.
