It's quite common to include all kinds of pages using the template
mechanism that aren't in the template namespace. For example, look at
[[en:Wkipedia:Votes for deletion]]. Everything is included via the
template mechanism, but it's all stuff that shouldn't be kept in the
template space.
There are numerous other examples of interesting hacks using the
template thing.
