I'm working on a software project that generates templates from raw data. We use "template" as a noun and a verb (though I don't know if using it as a verb is technically correct). Is there a good single word for a thing that makes templates? E.g. a templater or templatizer.
EDIT:
Just for fun, what are some silly names you can think of that I could use to annoy a coworker? He hates it when we say "templatizer," so let's see if he likes something like "Template-O-Matic" better :)
I am not personally aware of a single word that describes one who, or that which creates templates, and while I'm not the ultimate authority I think it is fair to say that if you found an obscure word then it wouldn't be recognised by the average native English speaker.
One of your suggested words "templater" sounded very plausible but doesn't appear to be in any official dictionaries. The word does appear in Wiktionary, and although that doesn't count for much it means that at least somebody has used it before.
However if you are looking to name your software, the great thing about English is that you can use common rules to make up words as names and the meaning will be instantly recognised.
Names like...
...will be widely understood even though they are not (or may not be!) proper words. The fact that Templater has found its way into a wiki and gone unchallenged proves this point.
Some additional names for your bonus 'name the software' question:
