You can see here for an example where it should exist: [Help with Rails console to edit text template](https://meta.discourse.org/t/help-with-rails-console-to-edit-text-template/308691)

There are plenty of others too (most email templates, for example).

Every single email template (if not every text template!) should allow `%{base_url}` since that’s the root website that one should be able to reference from anywhere. I don’t understand the decision to remove it selectively from some templates … unless it was somehow an oversight
