Unfortunately this is one where it's going to be impossible to make both sides happy. The plan with templates was to give those users that don't like to muck around in code an easy way to change the HTML of the pages. So, wherever possible I put all HTML into the templates and removed it from the scripts. In order to have admin toggles for these would mean that the HTML would need to be put back into the scripts for these areas and by doing that the templates become less flexible as you'd still need to go into the scripts to make HTML/layout type changes.
Hopefully we can get a template download area going. Maybe with sections for screenshots of what the modified templates actually do. Then it would just be a matter of downloading the altered templates and overwriting the originals.
