I see, and since any database can be used as a template for
more databases, which can be create with an encoding
different from the template,

Proving myself wrong:


root@hermes:~/tmp# sudo -u postgres psql -e -f /tmp/db.sql
Output format is wrapped.
drop database if exists new_tmpl;
DROP DATABASE
create database new_tmpl with encoding = 'utf8';
CREATE DATABASE
You are now connected to database "new_tmpl" as user "postgres".
select current_database();
  current_database
------------------
  new_tmpl
(1 row)

drop database if exists new_latin1;
psql:/tmp/db.sql:8: HINWEIS:  Datenbank »new_latin1« existiert nicht, wird übersprungen
DROP DATABASE
create database new_latin1 with template = new_tmpl encoding = 'latin1' locale = 'de_DE@latin1';
psql:/tmp/db.sql:9: FEHLER:  neue Kodierung (LATIN1) ist inkompatibel mit der Kodierung der Template-Datenbank (UTF8)
TIP:  Verwenden Sie die gleiche Kodierung wie die Template-Datenbank oder verwenden Sie template0 als Template.

That is covered here:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/16/manage-ag-templatedbs.html

"Another common reason for copying template0 instead of template1 is that new encoding and locale settings can be specified when copying template0, whereas a copy of template1 must use the same settings it does. This is because template1 might contain encoding-specific or locale-specific data, while template0 is known not to."

Substitute <db_name other then template0> for template1 and you can get the error you received.
