It doesn't make sense to me. Is it by design that the Visual Editor (accessed through the Contribute button) does not allow for a template to be edited but that the editor (accessed through Edit links and buttons) does allow for templates to be edited? Or is it a known fault in the present version? It seems to assume a comfort with markup code that not everyone may possess.

There are two editors that could be called "visual" editors. Which one are you talking about? The problem Saving Private Ryan is talking about appears to be only in the "classic" editor which is an old version of the newer VisualEditor and not the source editor which always works.

Also, there are many, many templates that don't work with either editor, because wikitext can create templates far too complicated for the editors to handle quite easily.
