Agreed. I just did this to make a page for Key:roof:shape, by making a
template called Template:Roof:shape with the content that should be
the same on that page and on the Simple 3D buildings page and then I
added {{Template:Roof:shape}} in the right place on both pages.
Not too hard. But make sure you include some small text at the bottom
with a link on the template like: "This page is a template, editable
[[Template:page|at this link]] - so people will be able to figure out
how to edit it when they see the main pages.
