I think we need to be careful with our choice here, having too much
entries in the global list of available templates can make the page
creation look complex.

IMHO some applications would deserve it. The blog for example, but
IIRC it's made to allow to have 1 space / 1 blog (at least it's been
asked several times). Other applications like a meeting manager or a
todo manager would definitely get my +1 to be suggested everywhere in
the wiki, provided those apps handles objects coming from the entire
wiki of course.
