Per my understanding the following needs to be done: 1.New pages must have certain templates. 2 This is to force users to follow a certain style guidelines. 3. Admin must have freedom to get around these restrictions if need be.
Based on that, I think, the best solution would be to use Semantic Forms. A far easier solution then the AbuseFilter.
