In the file managers I have tested (Nautilus and Deepin File Manager) many of the XDG user directories show up on the sidebar, many of the XDG directories show up, but the templates one does not. Is this a choice made by the software I don't have control over, or is there a way to fix this? When it comes to fixing it, I am wanting it mostly for the Nautilus file manager.
On a similar thread, can I make custom XDG user directories to show up in the sidebar?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the Templates directory is only meant for the right click "New File" menus. Do your files placed in there show up when you try to create a new file?
For custom directories showing up in the sidebar, can't you just drag them there?

Oh I see about the templates, thanks
The custom directories thing is pretty much just me being pedantic/OCD and wanting the folders in the top section of nautilus, rather than the bottom (bookmarks) section

You should fix the misleading typo on the thread title (now->not)

You can't.
Although, you can change their location or hide them if that helps, from ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
