Impossible to create event template through api

Currently it is not possible to create an event template throught the API. Title and start date are defined as required fields for the api, which aren't available for an event template.
Removing the required code, fixes the code.
Best fix probably is to conditionally check required fields.
So actually change

function _civicrm_api3_event_create_spec(&$params)

{ $params['start_date']['api.required'] = 1; $params['title']['api.required'] = 1; $params['is_active']['api.default'] = 1; $params['financial_type_id']['api.aliases'] = array('contribution_type_id'); }

in to

function _civicrm_api3_event_create_spec(&$params) {
if ( $params['is_template'] == 1)

{ $params['start_date']['api.required'] = 1; $params['title']['api.required'] = 1; }

$params['is_active']['api.default'] = 1;
$params['financial_type_id']['api.aliases'] = array('contribution_type_id');
}

in api/v3/Event.php
