Approved. The bot is approved to add the template when there is something to display, which could be run as a continuous task (e.g. daily, hourly, whateverly). For adding the template when there is nothing to display, I think that needs a wider discussion. (I'll also point out this is something that could be added as a minor
AWB genfix without much fuss.) You can file another BRFA for that task after such a discussion occurs.
