You could set up config.php so that Site/SomethingTemplate is the
template source for any page named Something.

Then if you edit-protect Site/GroupHeaderTemplate and
Site/GroupFooterTemplate, using ?action=attr, would new
WhateverGroup/GroupHeader pages inherit the GroupHeaderTemplate page's
attributes?
