I would need to give some more thoughts to your idea of combining the Account plan with the templates, if they did I am sure one day somebody would be here suggesting it would be a good idea to split them.
Server templates and account plans are already split. In fact they used to be together but the they were split after many requests from users. My solution is definitely not to re-combine them. These are two very different banks of settings and have different applications.
My preferred article style is, at the beginning you write a paragraph aimed at newbies to explain what a feature or function actually does and why you want it, then you go into more detail. This one paragraph (or so) can make learning a lot easier for newbie to use and then more experienced can use the article as a reference.
We have all seen those corporate videos advertising a piece of software, telling you how great it is and how it will improve your workflow, but they never tell you what the software actually does.
