While this is a good idea on paper, this encourages users to make way too many templates for the same purpose, making management of the templates more difficult instead. It may solve the issue of property tags, but it doesn't solve the issue of content management. It would also make things more confusing for new users, as they wouldn't know what template is which and who owns it. This suggestion is meant to prevent this kind of issue, not make it worse. Sometimes for the betterment of the wiki, some things like custom property templates need to be toned down to make management of the wiki a feasible thing. When things are too difficult to manage, admins will become disinterested in enforcing and keeping things neat and orderly, resulting in less and less quality control because there is way too much to account for when doing as such. We're trying to make things easier on them, not more confusing. I honestly still see no harm in users having their own property templates. They aren't overly difficult for new users to use, and if they don't know how to make them, then they can just ask an admin/mini-admin/etc to help them with making one and adding it to their pages. I do get your point of how there are lots of users here and there would be a lot of templates, but still, just name each template "[User][OC/Fanon/Page]" and everything should be okay and not confusing.
