User Editability after inserting Templates
Respondida
Templates being uneditable, i.e. not being able to add unique fields in the article's page itself but rather having to edit the template on /wiki/template reduces the purpose of a template. Rather than adding universal lines to an infobox or table in /wiki/template that might not apply to everything, allowing users to add their own lines to infoboxes or tables or anything else in an article's page once the template has been inserted would be infinitely useful to our users and preserves the original template. Rather, templates on wiki should start as templates but in the pure definition of a template: they are a slate, a rubric, a code that can be edited to that specific page only, without altering the original template.
Give as an option for templates: "can be edited by users in article" so you can also lock templates that are "wiki templates", uneditable, but also give the freedom to add (but not remove) features to a template to make it the dictionary definition of a template a starting point to then build upon
E.g. when you create a wiki template for a table for users to insert, users cannot add rows, columns, or even text into that table. Infoboxes have set parameters in a wiki template, but users cannot add additional lines unique to that page on that page. Going into the template page /wiki/template adds too many lines that crowd the original template. Allowing users to add custom lines within the confines of the respective article allows maximum customizability while preserving the /wiki/template

Templates in MediaWiki are designed primarily as reusable content: their structure is maintained centrally on the template page, while individual articles can provide different values through the parameters supported by that template. This makes it possible to update and maintain the structure consistently across all of the pages where a template is used.
Allowing individual articles to make their own structural additions to a transcluded template would work somewhat differently from that model and could make templates considerably more difficult to maintain, as different instances of the same template could develop their own structures.
For infoboxes, one option is to design the template with additional optional parameters. Those fields can then be used only on the articles that need them without appearing on articles where they aren't applicable.
If what you're looking for instead is a reusable starting structure that becomes independently editable after being inserted into a page, the preload solution mentioned above is much closer to that use case, as it allows the starting content to be inserted without requiring it to remain a regular template transclusion.

Regardless of whether or not FANDOM supports this feature request, you might be able to benefit from the PreloadTemplates plugin if you speak to your wiki administrators about importing it to Special:ImportJS.
Preload templates allow for you to create pages that can be loaded into a page in source editing mode. If you put your template source code into a preload page, the plugin will allow you to paste the code (as opposed to just the template purple text) into the page raw, allowing for additional fields to be added without any edits to the original template itself.
