Solution 2:

On Salaudeen Rajack`s blog www.sharepointdiary.com there is a tutorial with explained 6 ways to determine a SharePoint Site Template. The link can be found here.

Cited:

1. Use SharePoint Manager, Navigate through the site, and look for "Web Template".

2. Stsadm: stsadm.exe -o enumallwebs -databasename > Template.txt Now, Open the template.txt file and check for template. This trick can be used to find site template name for SharePoint 2010 even.

3. Sql Server: Sql server is the back-bone of SharePoint, So SELECT Title, WebTemplate FROM dbo.Webs WHERE Title='Your Site'

4. You can use SharePoint Object Model find site template of a SharePoint site. Just query SPWeb.WebTemplateId.

5. SharePoint 2010 - find template used create site: In SharePoint 2010, You can get the list of site templates by using a PowerShell Cmd-let: Get-SPWebTemplate . Examples for listing Web Templates:

   Get-SPWebTemplate -Identity SGS#0

   Get-SPWebTemplate -Identity S*

   Get-SPWebTemplate | ? { $_.Name -like "*STS*" }

6. Go to the view source of the SharePoint page >> Search for "SiteTemplateID" to find site template name SharePoint 2010.

Solution 3:

The easiest way is to get a tool like SharePoint Manager. Go into the site you are looking at, and find the WebTemplateId property. You can then match it up to a list of known template types.

There is another way to do it, but it is much more manual (and ugly) so I won't outline it here.

As far as a page template goes - this only works on pages within a Publishing site (in the Pages library...) but you should be able to look at the ContentType field in the Properties for a page in SPM. If you are looking at a pages library, you can even just add Content Type to the view directly within SharePoint and get the same information.

Solution 4:

To get Name of the existing site template {Name of the Site Template} follow the below steps

1. Save a Site as a Template.

2. Go to Site settings –> sites & workspaces –> create.

3. IE Tools > Developer Tools > Find > Select Element By Click > View > Source > DOM (Element) > Highlight and copy the section test . The one in bold will be your site template name.
