Here is short info about adding EditorTemplate. In short words - you have to create directory EditorTemplates in Views/Shared and you should create a view with the same name as the model you want to create the editor for.

Remember that EditorTemplate for a model is used when calling Html.EditorFor with object of this model as argument. You should use them to provide editing possibilities, of course - if you want to create something that should only display data, use the same way to create DisplayTemplate (create DisplayTemplates directory). DisplayTemplate is rendered on Html.DisplayFor call with object of this model as argument.
