"The Template era of chargen started with Shadowrun for most intents and purposes..."

Not really. Star Wars (WEG) started the "Template era" 2 years earlier in 1987. Sure, you could interpret your "for most intents and purposes" qualification more broadly with another less prominent game, but Star Wars was a major game line, perhaps even more so than Shadowrun...
