Title: Template definition functionality for all registered users

Description: Is it possible to allow all ODP users to see what templates are available and to create new ones, while preventing them to modify those templates that are controlled by administrators? I think the usage of templates and the creation of new ones by users can be beneficial for the whole community.

Answer	Actually the namespace 'Templates' is closed to all users. It is possible to open it to registered users, and to allow them to create templates by the related Special page. At the same time the Administrators can prevent editing of some templates using the 'protect' page function of Media wiki.
