Because the template takes care of formatting and other design-related things, it means that if an admin decides that, for example, all the contact info should be in bold text, the admin only has to adjust the template, and all pages that use the template will see that text in a bold font. The alternative would be to edit each and every page, make the text bold, save the page, open the next page, make the text bold, etc. Not only would that be a lot of work for whoever will be tasked with that job, but also will it invite mistakes which may or may not go undetected for some time or could even lead to breakage of the wiki. Using a template avoids these problems and will let admins make quick changes to all the pages by simply adjusting a single template.
