Not only a template, but whatever wiki page can be transcluded in another one by using the {{ ... }} syntax. The VE treats them all the same and suggests to edit the template when in reality there is just a simple page transclusion without any parameters to edit. I would expect the VE to better guide users on how to actually edit the transcluded content.
Example: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Gaga#Diskografie transcludes https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Gaga/Diskografie. Trying to edit it with VE I get "Transclusion. Generated from: :Lady Gaga/Diskografie"; pressing edit I get "The "Lady Gaga/Diskografie" template doesn't yet have a description, but there might be some information on the template's page." Futhermore, it looks like the line of text before the transclusion is suddenly included into the transclusion while the actual content can't be found to be edited anywhere.
