Why do you need a standardized documentation template?
The document structure is like the interior layout and signage inside a building, directing people to where they need to go.
Keep the structure standard for every piece of documentation so people can quickly find the info they need, no matter which document or article they are looking at.
People like familiarity, for things to make sense visually.
Tip: Don't overwhelm users with a giant document unless it's broken into subheadings, ideally with navigation for quick scrolling (subheadings being like aisles in a store or floors in a building, in our building analogy above). You'll see a Table of Contents section in this template that accomplishes this goal.
