~/.local/share/templates/ is respected too (and complements /usr/share/), so it
is indeed possible to add or modify templates at user side.

Files in /usr/share/ are overridden by files with the same name in
~/.local/share/, so you can copy existing ones and modify them to your likings,
or add completely new templates in ~/.local/share/templates/.

Note that a template usually consists of two files:
- share/templates/xxx.desktop that describes the template
- share/.source/something that is the actual file that gets copied when you
choose "Create New"

The former can refer to the latter via a line like this:
URL=.source/TextDocument.odt

times, but it should still apply, only the locations have changed)
