<p>To let users create template without touching settings. On the top of my mind, you can try a <a href="https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/matrix-fields.html#settings" rel="nofollow noreferrer">"matrix"</a> field with multiple "block type". And using "channel" section to replace "single" section.</p>

<p>Seems like a very obvious (and missing) feature, but maybe I'm missing something. If we have a generic "page" template how could an editor (as in someone not confident with using settings) just create a new single page? </p>

<p>E.g they may have singles for about, history, faq's etc but then want to add a new "page" for a one-off thing. Right now the developer has to create a new single in settings for them which is really clunky.  </p>

To let users create template without touching settings. On the top of my mind, you can try a ["matrix"](https://docs.craftcms.com/v3/matrix-fields.html#settings) field with multiple "block type". And using "channel" section to replace "single" section.
