Umm, is that really a good idea? Protected templates are protected for a
reason usually (at least on projects that ive worked on. Can't speak for
enwiki). {{Editprotected}} seems like a better option for those, even if
simply for political reasons, and if you find yourself making a lot of such
requests why not ask the community how it feels about giving out advanced
rights.
Imho, wmf granted advanced rights should be reserved for more serious
issues than purely asethetic ones.
I agree with the setiment of just being bold for unprotected templates.
