It is not a matter of learning any specific cite template that is the problem. All of them have sufficient documentation to make them usable. The problem is that in about 80% of the cases that I have used them (almost always referring to a web page of varying degrees of officialness and sometimes news web pages) the correct cite template to use is very very very far from obvious.
I was about to say that there were only a few, and then I checked and found (like all process) they've multiplied and grown while I wasn't looking. That's far too damn many. OTOH, one doesn't have to use the complex ones; you can just use a standard cite web or whatever.
