Idea is from brainwash, I opened just the bug to dont forget about it, since I like the idea.

> <brainwash> the top of the main view could be used to show some text
> <brainwash> with a close button to dismiss it (forever)
> <brainwash> this way the information would be shown regardless of how the user reached the Templates folder

On top a banner would be less disruptive, solve the "Templates ..." discussion from Bug #16547 and imo look better.

Similar to the trash banner from Nautilus (see attached picture)

So the idea would be to have all the text in the current dialog to appear in the banner and a button to not show it again, as there is quite alot of text in the dialog.

Yes, I would put all the text in there .. to be checked if it looks ok.

If it looks bad, we could think about using "show more" to expand  the dialog, or to link to the Wiki.
