Having read the page with the Templar usage on it I have noticed that the usage being described is essentially that used in problems. Are there any actual games featuring this piece under the name Templar? Are they even that common in problems, like Empress for Rook+Knight or Princess for Bishop+Knight (which are common enough to appear in The Oxford Companion to Chess)? If the answer to both is no, standard Piecelopedia practice appears to be to omit such names.
