Page templates are currently static (read-only) common elements on a page. They're useful for common banners, footers, logos, etc, but not for (eg) providing a common text frame layout for a page. "editable page templates" are a very often requested feature, and it's on the 1.3.x roadmap. Like many things, it's just a matter of priorities and time. In the mean time, you can usually do a lot of common page layout automation with a group in the scrapbook or with a python script. -- Craig Ringer
