Per the impending: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Template_editor_user_right Enwiki will need a new protection level and user right to edit through it grantable and revokable by sysops. I see no technical hurdles to the requested change, and the consensus (above) seems clear; I'll submit a patch for inspection that will be available for deployment at the conclusion of the RfC.

(Restoring 'shell' back to 'shellpolicy', the RFC is technically not closed yet – "This RFC is scheduled to close on 11 October 2013" – although it's pretty clear it will pass.)
Change 88196 had a related patch set uploaded by coren: Add templateeditor right, group, and restriction https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/88196
Back to shell, clear consensus.
Change 88196 merged by jenkins-bot: Add templateeditor right, group, and restriction https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/88196
All done.
