<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="TitleContent" runat="server">

Answer 1

Editor templates should be .ascx controls, not .aspx pages. Also your file is wrongly named. It is named WeeklyModels.aspx but the correct name is WeeklyModel.ascx (without s) because your class is called WeeklyModel and not WeeklyModels.

So inside ~/Views/Shared/EditorTemplates/WeeklyModel.ascx you could put the following:

<%@ Control 
    Language="C#" 
    Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<GenSystem.Models.WeeklyModels>" 
%>
<%= Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.IsChecked) %>
<%= Html.LabelFor(m => m.IsChecked, Model.Name) %>
<%= Html.HiddenFor(m => m.Name) %>
<%= Html.HiddenFor(m => m.Value) %>

and inside your main view CreateWeekly.aspx:

<%@ Page 
    Title="" 
    Language="C#" 
    MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/ChildSite.Master" 
    Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<GenSystem.Models.WeeklyViewModel>" 
%>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="TitleContent" runat="server">
    CreateWeekly
</asp:Content>

<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
    <% using (Html.BeginForm()) { %>
        <div>
            <%= Html.EditorFor(m => m.Settings) %>
        </div>
        <br />
        <input value="GenerateForWeekly" name="submitButton" type="submit" />
    <% } %>
</asp:Content>
