A minority of cases.

An easier alternative is just to remove the template.  If templates are 
added at a significantly faster rate than problems fixed it is a losing 
battle. If you don't know what you are talking about, how do you even 
know to add a template.  If you do know what you are talking about, you 
may be the best person to fix the problem.  Some templates may still be 
necessary, but they will represent something more than a templaters 
vicarious pleasure of generating work for others.
