[Themes] have cost, and on top of that, a cost that is discounted in a different way than buildings (Stock Exchange instead of Sam, 20% instead of 10%). As suggested in my post on the subject, I don't this is a roadblock. Infobox_Item already needs to check for the item type when displaying "Discounted Cost", because decorations don't have them and shouldn't display the field. If the template already checks for the item type to decide whether or not to show a discount, then how hard is it to have it apply the correct discount for the type?

Even so, you raised more than just this one objection. If you think that themes are so fundamentally different that they should have their own template, then that's the way we'll do it. My thought process was simply that we could save time and effort by creating one template that does many things (like Infobox_Wagon does) instead of duplicating effort by creating multiple templates--which, in turn, could create confusion among editors. But hey, you're the template superguru, and you're the one who'll probably be creating the templates, anyway, and you're an admin besides, so ultimately, my opinion really doesn't matter.

Hmm. Ya know, if I hadn't spent 10 minutes typing this, that last statement would convince me not to post it.
