I agree that shadow's templates listed are useless and should be in another namespace or not templates at all, but I use many templates that are not on more than 5 pages. I use templates for specific piece of coding that is repeated on a page for example a div box that appears on the page alot but doesn't appear anywhere else and would be a pest to copy and paste. I also use templates to avoid spamming and to neaten up my pages, when the Halloween user page contest was on i was adding things to my user page through a period of about an hour but only edited my user page once to avoid spam. I used a template to do this and edited the template several times until all was right and there wasn't lots of complex coding on my page.
