Yeah I got redirected to the Special list when I mistyped a special link once, so that's how I stumbled upon it :)

& You don't wanna know the type of edits on templates we've occured in the past... Sometimes I just wonder if they randomly press some keys and then decide to press publish. But yeah, it has happened in the past, and yeah that is why most templates are locked. And it looks like that's how it's gonna stay.

The only time they'd be unlocked is for a temporary time, allowing one specific user to edit one specific template upon agreement with an admin. So unless you want to proactively edit a template that way, there isn't a way the templates will be unlocked.
