When creating or editing a template, you can now publish directly from the Template Type dialog.

Admins will see an option to “Bulk edit template types” under the Edit button dropdown, for categories containing 1 or more templates. Using this feature will override any existing classifications and will edit ​all​ templates in the category.

This is all well and good. But the current flow is still bad. For an average editor:

0. Click template from Special:Templates

1. Edit a template

2. Write something

3. Click save

4. See a huge dialog.

5. Refresh and redo.

Now doing this for 4 or 5 different templates means that the regular flow will be broken 4 or 5 times. It is one thing to show that huge dialog once to help people understand the types, but it is incredibly annoying to have to see it each time. In addition, this new bulk categorization feature is hidden away in a place where few admins will ever see it.

Can't you simply add a drop-down combo box for that?

As an added bonus you can add this code to the Special:Templates and be able to change template types or classification with no issues whatsoever. This would only require minor changes to the code.
